For the parallel reaction, A→B of order n1 and A→C of order n2, if B is the desired product, then which of the following reactor/ combination of reactors is used if n1 > n2?(a) CSTR(b) CSTR followed by Bubbling bed reactor(c) PFR(d) CSTR followed by PFRThis question was posed to me in a national level competition.I'm obligated to ask this question of Parallel Reactions Design topic in portion Potpourri of Multiple Reactions, Design for Single & Parallel Reactions of Chemical Reaction Engineering |

Answer» CORRECT answer is (c) PFR Explanation: To maximise C\(_A^{n1-n2}\), PFR is used. If n1-n2 > 0, the AVERAGE concentration inside the REACTOR is maximum. |
