For identical flow rate, feed composition and for elementary first order reactions, ‘N’ equal sized mixed reactors in series with a total volume ‘V’ gives the same conversion as a single plug flow reactor of volume ‘V’ for constant density systems. This is true, when the value of ‘N’ is ___________________?
Correct answer: C
Explanation
For the conversion to be equal, the number of reactors (N) must approach infinity. This models an ideal continuous flow system.
