How should a PFR and MFR be connected to maximize production from a first order reaction?(a) MFR followed by PFR(b) PFR followed by MFR(c) Any arrangement(d) MFR and PFR should not be connectedThis question was posed to me by my school principal while I was bunking the class.The origin of the question is Choosing of Right Reactor Series or Connections (Maximum Profitability) topic in section Ideal Reactors for a Single Reaction, Conversion and Reactor Sizing of Chemical Reaction Engineering

Answer»

Correct OPTION is (C) Any arrangement

Explanation: The final concentration for both the cases is same and can be calculated USING the formula

CA2 = \(\frac{CA0 e^{-kτp}}{(τmk+1)} \)

Therefore, any arrangement does not MAKE any difference for first order reactions.
