Question

State true or false.

The tank in series model depicts a non – ideal tubular reactor as a series of equal sized CSTRs.

(a) The tank in series model depicts a non – ideal tubular reactor as a series of equal sized CSTRs.

(b) True

(c) False

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) The tank in series model depicts a non – ideal tubular reactor as a series of equal sized CSTRs.

For explanation I would say: A number of tanks in series represent a PFR. Any CSTR behaves like a PFR if its volume is reduced. Infinite CSTRs are connected in series to approach PFR behaviour.
