Match the following: P. Tank in series model, Q. Liquid-liquid extraction, R. Optimum temperature progression, S. Thiele modulus — I. Non-isothermal reaction, II. Mixer-settler, III. PFR with axial mixing, IV. Solid catalyzed reaction

  • AP−II, Q−IV, R−I, S−III
  • BP−I, Q−II, R−III, S−IV
  • CP−III, Q−I, R−II, S−IV
  • P−III, Q−II, R−I, S−IV

Explanation

The tank-in-series model is used to represent a PFR with axial mixing (P-III). Liquid-liquid extraction is commonly carried out in a mixer-settler (Q-II). Optimum temperature progression is a strategy for non-isothermal reactions to maximize yield/selectivity as equilibrium and rate constraints shift with temperature (R-I). The Thiele modulus characterizes internal diffusion limitation in a solid catalyzed reaction (S-IV).
