Which of the following is the most suitable for isothermal operation?
Correct answer: B. Back-mix reactor
- A. Batch reactor
- B. Back-mix reactor
- C. Plug-flow reactor
- D. Fixed bed reactor
Explanation
A back-mix reactor is well suited to isothermal operation because complete mixing gives a nearly uniform temperature and makes heat removal or addition easier. Plug-flow and fixed-bed reactors can develop temperature gradients along their length.
