Question
What are the ideal flow-pattern models?
Expert Solution

Step 1
There are two types of flow patters.
they are,
(1) mixed flow pattern and
(2) plug flow pattern
Step 2
The mixed flow pattern takes place in mixed flow reactor. Here the composition is constant throughout the process.
Performance equation for the reactor is
Here, is molar feed rate of component A, is conversion, is rate of reaction and is volume of reactor.
Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
