Assertion (A): A pilot plant is built before committing to full scale.

Reason (R): Scale-up rarely behaves exactly as calculation predicts.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • B.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • C.A is true but R is false
  • D.A is false but R is true

Answer: A

Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Because scale-up rarely behaves as calculated - heat transfer, mixing, handling and fouling all change with size - an intermediate step is worth its cost. The pilot plant is where those surprises are found cheaply, which is precisely why it is built.
