For the parallel reaction, A→B, represented as (-rA) = k1CA^5and A→C represented as (-rA) = k2CA^3, theideal reactor preferred is ____(a) CSTR(b) CSTRs in parallel(c) CSTRs in series(d) PFRI had been asked this question in my homework.My question comes from Parallel Reactions Design in portion Potpourri of Multiple Reactions, Design for Single & Parallel Reactions of Chemical Reaction Engineering

Answer»

The correct choice is (d) PFR

Easy EXPLANATION: SELECTIVITY = \(\frac{k_1 C_A^5}{k_2 C_A^3}\) α CA^2

To INCREASE the yield of product, CA should be LARGE. Hence, PFR is used.
