B Dispersion
C Mixed flow
D Tank in series
Correct Answer: Dispersion
The first order gas phase reaction as shown in the bellow figure is conducted isothermally in batch mode. The rate of change of conversion with time is given by________________?
A dXA/dt = k1 (1 – XA)2 (1 + 2XA)
B dXA/dt = k1 (1 – XA) (1 + 0.5XA)
C dXA/dt = k1 (1 – XA)
D dXA/dt = k1 (1 – XA)/(1 + XA)
Correct Answer: dXA/dt = k1 (1 – XA)
