In which type of reactor, the perfect mixing can occur?(a) Ideal(b) Non-ideal(c) Constant(d) VariableI had been asked this question during an internship interview.Enquiry is from Concentration Gradients and Reaction Rates in Solid Catalysts topic in portion Heterogenous Reactions of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer» RIGHT option is (a) Ideal

Easy explanation: In ideal reactor, COMPOSITION and temperature are SPATIALLY uniform (i.e. PERFECT mixing).

Ideal (perfectly mixed) reactor: spatially uniform temp, conc, & REACTION rate :

\(r_jV = \frac{dN_j}{dt}\)
