Match each ideal reactor with its residence time distribution.
List I
A. Plug flow
B. Stirred tank
C. Several tanks in series
D. Laminar flow tube
List II
1. a peak that narrows as tanks are added
2. a spike at the mean residence time
3. a curve with a long tail from the slow wall region
4. an exponential decay from time zero

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

Answer: B

The distribution is the fingerprint of the flow pattern, and comparing a measured curve against these four is how a real reactor is diagnosed. The laminar case is the one most often overlooked. Each pattern has its own signature.
