Tutorial One

This document contains a tutorial on reactor design with 8 multiple choice questions. The questions cover topics like the design equation for a batch reactor, the mole balance for a CSTR with a first order reaction, the type of reactor that usually has the easiest temperature control, the rate of appearance of product B in a reaction where A reacts to form B, the type of mathematical equation used to express a rate law, the dimensions of the rate constant k, and using information about concentrations and flow rates to calculate the volume of a CSTR for a second order reaction.
