Chapter 2: Conversion and Reactor Sizing

Critical Thinking Question

See Preface Tables P1, P2, and P3

Would the conversion be higher if the PFR were placed at last rather than in the middle? This is a question that involves critical thinking because it probes implication and consequences of such a move of the PFR

Socratic Question 5:

By moving the PFR to the end more conversion will be achieved because the rate decreases gradually as we move down the PFR. (see example 2.2 for a similar situation)
