Discussion
Match each reactor with a characteristic property.
List I
A. CSTR
B. PFR
C. Batch
D. Semi-batch
List II
1. conditions changing with time, not position
2. uniform conditions equal to the exit stream
3. one reactant fed while none is withdrawn
4. a concentration gradient along its length
Answer: D
Correct answer: A-2, B-4, C-1, D-3
Each reactor is characterised by how composition varies. A CSTR is uniform and equal to the exit stream. A PFR has a gradient along its length and none across it. A batch reactor varies with time but not position, since it is well mixed and closed. A semi-batch has one reactant fed in while nothing is withdrawn, which is how a reaction with a dangerous exotherm or an unwanted side reaction is controlled.
