If the unwanted parallel reaction has the higher order, the better choice is

  • A.a plug flow reactor instead
  • B.a batch reactor of some kind
  • C.a very short residence time in plug flow
  • D.a stirred tank at low concentration

Answer: D

Correct answer: a stirred tank at low concentration

If the unwanted reaction has the higher order the exponent \( a-b \) is negative, so selectivity improves as concentration falls. A stirred tank holds its entire contents at the low exit concentration, which is precisely what is wanted here - the same uniformity that costs it volume in a single-reaction duty becomes its advantage. Diluting the feed and semi-batch addition serve the same end.
