respect to the feed rate (Figure 4-23). Isothermal operation is attained
due to this well-mixed condition. Since the reactor is operated at a
steady state, the kinetic parameters measured at the beginning of the
experiment will be the same as those measured at the end. Because
fresh catalyst is mixed with decayed catalyst from the recycle, the
product distribution and the kinetic parameters may not be the same
as those measured in a straight-through transport reactor where the gas
