Interpretation:
The first moment corresponding to the given mean for a PFR, a CSTR and for a LFR is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The full form of PFR is Plug-Flow Reactor which consists of a cylindrical pipe and it is used for the gas-phase reactions. It is also known as tubular reactor.
The full form of CSTR is Continuous-Stirred Tank Reactor. This reaction has its application in the industrial processes. This reactor actually used for liquid-phase reactions.
Interpretation:
The conversions of the given reactors for a second-order liquid phase reaction are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
