Type 4 Home Problem- PFR Design Equation Derivation
Problems that are under-specified.

Our tubular reactor consists of a cylindrical pipe and operates at steady-state. The turbulent flow we expect may be modeled by that of a plug flow reactor (PFR). A PFR has no radial variation in concentration.

We start with the general steady-state mole balance for the PFR:

rearranging gives:

taking the limit as , we obtain:
