Recycling back of outlet stream to the reactor from an ideal CSTR carrying out a first order liquid phase reaction will result in ______________ in conversion?
Correct answer: C. No change
- A. Decrease
- B. Increase
- C. No change
- D. Either A. or B., depends on the type of reaction
Explanation
For an ideal CSTR, the recycle stream has the same composition as the reactor outlet, so its effects cancel in the overall material balance. At fixed reactor volume and fresh-feed rate, recycling therefore does not change the conversion.
