A Pressure
B Temperature
C Concentration and catalyst
D None of these
Correct Answer: Concentration and catalyst
For identical flow rate, feed composition and for elementary first order reactions, ‘N’ equal sized mixed reactors in series with a total volume ‘V’ gives the same conversion as a single plug flow reactor of volume ‘V’ for constant density systems. This is true, when the value of ‘N’ is ___________________?
A 1
B > 1
C
D ≥ 1
Correct Answer:

C Varies as fifth power of the temperature
D Both B. and C.
Correct Answer: Is the minimum energy which the molecules must have before the reaction can take place

The reaction A → B is conducted in an adiabatic plug flow reactor (PFR). Pure A at a concentration of 2 kmol/m3is fed to the reactor at the rate of 0.01 m3 /s and at a temperature of 500 K. If the exit conversion is 20%, then the exit temperature (in k) is (Data: Heat of reaction at 298 K = – 50000 kJ/ kmole of A reacted Heat capacities CPA = CPB = 100kJ/kmole.

B 500
C 600
D 1000
Correct Answer: 600
