Question

If (frac{τ}{t}) = 0.5, average conversion for a particle B of constant size in a mixed flow reactor for film resistance controlling is ____

(a) 0.45

(b) 0.38

(c) 0.536

(d) 0.743

Answer 1

The correct choice is (c) 0.536

For explanation: 1-(overline{X_{(B)}}) = 0.5((frac{τ}{overline{t}}) – frac{1}{3!}(frac{τ}{overline{t}})^2+frac{1}{4!} (frac{τ}{overline{t}}))^3-…, as obtained by expansion.

1-(overline{X_{(B)}}) = 0.4635 and (overline{X_{(B)}}) = 0.536
