372. Holding time for flow reactors is __________ the space time, for constant fluid density
Double
Triple
Equal to
None of these
✅ The correct answer is option C.
373. Batch process is preferred over continuous process, when the
Product yields and quality can not be achieved in continuous process, because of long residence time
Sales demand of product is not steady
Same equipment can not be used for several processes of the same nature
All of the above
✅ The correct answer is option D.
374. For a tubular reactor with space time ‘τ’ and residence time ‘θ’, the following statement holds good.
τ and θ are always equal
τ = θ , when the fluid density changes in the reactor
τ = θ , for an isothermic tubular reactor in which the density of the process fluid is constant
τ = θ , for a non-isothermal reactor
✅ The correct answer is option C.
375. In the reversible reaction of the type, A + B ⇋ AB, in general
