Question

For a perfectly mixed continuous flow tank reactor (CSTR) at steady state, which of the following statements is NOT true:

(a). there is no time dependence of temperature within the reactor

(b). there is no position dependence of temperature within the reactor

(c). the concentration inside the reactor is an average between that of the inlet and that of the outlet

(d). the concentration in the outlet is identical to that inside the reactor

(e). the concentration anywhere in the reactor is equal to the outlet concentration

Explanation / Answer

(c) the concentration inside the reactor is an average between that of the inlet and that of the outlet. ( NOT TRUE)

Beacuse concentration in side the reactor is depend on rate of reaction.

Note : CSTR is generally have no spatial variations in concentrations, temperature, or reaction rate throughout the vessel.
