Space velocity____________________?
Correct answer: A. All A., B. and C.
- A. All A., B. and C.
- B. Is the maximum feed rate per unit volume of reactor for a given conversion
- C. Is a measure of the ease of the reaction
- D. Describes the extensive operating characteristics of a tubular flow reactor
Explanation
Space velocity is the feed volumetric rate divided by reactor volume, so it indicates how rapidly a reactor volume of feed is processed. For a specified conversion, it reflects the allowable feed rate and therefore the reactor's processing capability and apparent reaction ease.
