Space time in terms of molar federate and initial concentration is _________(a) τ = CA0 V0(b) τ = \(\frac{CA0}{FA0} \)(c) τ = CA0 V(d) τ = \(\frac{VCA0}{FA0} \)This question was posed to me during an online interview.This intriguing question originated from Design Equations for Flow Reactors topic in division Ideal Reactors for a Single Reaction, Conversion and Reactor Sizing of Chemical Reaction Engineering

Answer» CORRECT choice is (d) τ = \(\FRAC{VCA0}{FA0} \)

Easy explanation: By DEFINITION, Space time = \(\frac{Volume \, of \, the \, reactor}{VOLUMETRIC \, feed \, rate} = \frac{V}{V0} \) and FA0 = CA0 V0,

Thereforeτ = \(\frac{VCA0}{FA0}. \)
