Question

For a continuous reactor with \(D=0.2~h^{-1}\), residence time (\(\tau\)) is

• A. 2 h
• B. 3 h
• C. 5 h
• D. 10 h

Hint:

Always remember: \[ \boxed{ D=\frac{1}{\tau} } \] A higher dilution rate means a shorter residence time, while a lower dilution rate means cells remain longer inside the reactor.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
