Chemical Reaction Engineering
For the liquid phase zero order irreversible reaction A → B, the conversion of A in a CSTR is found to be 0.3 at a space velocity of 0.1min⁻¹ . What will be the conversion for a PFR with a space velocity of 0.2 min⁻¹? Assume that all the other operating conditions are the same for CSTR and PFR.

0.9
0.3
0.6
0.15

A space time of 3 hours for a flow reactor means that

It takes three hours to dump the entire volume of the reactor with feed
Three reactor volumes of feed can be processed every hour
The time required to process one reactor volume of feed (measured at specified conditions) is 3 hours
Conversion is cent per cent after three hours

Semibatch reactor is preferred, when a/an

A gas is to be reacted with liquid (e.g. hydrogenation of fat)
All of these
A highly exothermic reaction is to be controlled
Undersirable side reaction (at high concentration of one of the reactants) is to be avoided
