The optimum performance for reactors operating in parallel is obtained when the feed stream is distributed in such a way, that the_________________?
Correct answer: C. Space time for each parallel line is same
- A. Larger reactors have more space time compared to smaller ones
- B. Space time for parallel lines is different
- C. Space time for each parallel line is same
- D. None of these
Explanation
Parallel reactors perform optimally when each line has the same space time, provided the reactors have the same kinetics and operating conditions. This balances the conversion contribution from every line.
