A recycle reactor is used for the reaction
A+B --+ C
in which species C is partially condensed. The PFR reactor volume is
required for 50% conversion. [2nd Ed. P4-321
Radial flow reactors can be used to good advantage for exothermic
reactions with large heats of reaction. The radial velocity varies as
