Pick out the wrong statement pertaining to space velocity of flow reactors?
Correct answer: D. The space velocity of 3 hr-1 means that one third reactor volume of feed at specified
- A. The unit of space velocity is (time)-1
- B. The space velocity of 3 hr-1 means that three reactor volumes of feed at specified conditions
- C. are being fed into the reactor every hour
- D. The space velocity of 3 hr-1 means that one third reactor volume of feed at specified
- E. conditions are being fed into the reactor
- F. None of these
Explanation
Space velocity is volumetric feed rate divided by reactor volume, with units of inverse time. A space velocity of 3 h⁻¹ means three reactor volumes of feed enter per hour, not one-third of a volume.
