Chapter 6: Isothermal Reactor Design: Molar Flow Rates
Critical Thinking Question
You just designed (in Self Test 6.2) a CSTR to achieve 85.5% conversion for an entering molar flow rate of A of 0.5 mol/s. Brainstorm a list of ideas why when the reaction is put on stream, 85% conversion will not be achieved. Use critical thinking to examine each of the ideas generated.
