Interpretation:
Whether the maximum mixedness model or the segregation model predicts the highest conversion of the given catalytic reaction is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The model of the reactor in which residence time distribution has an impact over its performance that is dependent upon the chemical kinetics is known as maximum mixedness model.
The rate law of the chemical reaction states that the rate of reaction is the function of the concentration of the reactants and the products present in that specific reaction. The rate is actually predicted by the slowest step of the reaction. Catalysts increase the rate of the reaction.
