Pick the WRONG design guideline for a reactor in which the reactions, A → R (desired) and A → S (undesired) are to take place. The ratio of the reaction rates is rR/rS = (k1/k2). CA a-b?
AUse CSTR with a high conversion, when a > b
BAvoid recycle, when a > b
CUse high pressure and eliminate inerts, when a > b
DUse batch reactor or plug flow reactor, when a > b
Correct answer
B. Avoid recycle, when a > b
Explanation
The correct answer is Avoid recycle, when a > b.
