Arrange the following in order of increasing conversion for the same total volume and normal kinetics.
1. four CSTRs in series
2. a single CSTR
3. a PFR
4. two CSTRs in series

  • A.2 - 1 - 4 - 3
  • B.2 - 4 - 1 - 3
  • C.3 - 1 - 4 - 2
  • D.4 - 2 - 1 - 3

Answer: B

Correct answer: 2 - 4 - 1 - 3

A single stirred tank is worst, since all of it sits at the exit concentration. Two in series improve on it, four improve further, and plug flow is the limit the cascade approaches but never reaches. The order is the same ranking as the tanks-in-series item, read from the poorest arrangement to the best.
