The conversion XA and residence time data are collected for zero order liquid phase reaction in a stirred tank reactor. Which of the following will be a straight line ?
Correct answer: A. XA Vs . η
- A. XA Vs . η
- B. XA Vs ln η
- C. XA/(1 - XA)Vs η
- D. XA(1 - XA)Vs η
Explanation
For a zero-order reaction in a CSTR, the design equation gives τ = C_A0 X_A/k, so conversion is directly proportional to residence time. Therefore, X_A plotted against η or residence time gives a straight line.
