What happens when the reaction occurs non-uniformly?(a) High gradient(b) Low gradient(c) Small yield(d) Less conversionI had been asked this question during a job interview.This intriguing question comes from Reactor Developemnt topic in chapter Hydrocarbon Synthesis and Hydroformylation of Unit Processes

Answer»

Right option is (a) High gradient

The explanation is: A uniform AMOUNT of reaction has been assumed through the CATALYST bed. When the reaction occurs non uniformly and a large amount of conversion takes PLACE in a limited area, as is often the case NEAR the point of ENTRY of the fresh gas, the gradients are higher.
