With increase in the order of reaction (for all positive reaction orders), the ratio of the volume of mixed reactor to the volume of plug flow reactor (for identical feed composition, flow rate and conversion)
If the time required to change the concentration of reactant to half its original value is independent of the initial concentration, the order of reaction is
For the non catalytic reaction of particles with surrounding fluid, the same needed to achive the same fractional conversion for particles of different unchanging sizes is proportional to the particle diameter, when the __________ is the controlling resistance.
For the non-catalytic reaction of particles with surrounding fluid, the time needed to achieve the same fractional conversion for particles of different but unchanging sizes is proportional to the square of particle diameter, when the __________ is the controlling resistance.
The response curve for a step input signal from a reactor is called C-curve. The variance of C-curve in a 'tanks in series model' comprising of 'm' tanks is equal to
The minimum energy required to allow a chemical reaction to proceed is termed as the 'threshold energy '. Chemical reaction with low activation energy are
If the catalyst pore size is small in comparison with the mean free path, collisions with the pore wall controls the process'. The diffusivity under this condition is called 'Knudsen diffusivity', which is affected by the
Time required for 50% decomposition of a liquid in an isothermal batch reactor following first order kinetics is 2 minutes. The time required for 75% decomposition will be about __________ minutes.
