An infinite sequence of CSTRs is equivalent to what?
In an ideal cstr there is perfect mixing. Also as soon as the reactant enters the reactor it mixes and gets converted to product but as soon as it enters, it gets converted and the concentration suddenly drop. as keep on adding CSTR in series, we will have perfect 100 % in each reactor
This can be looked as a PFR where in we have no axial mixing but 100% radial mixing. Each radial section of a PFR can be looked as a CSTR as each CSTR will have full mixing taking place.
Hence infinite sequence of CSTR will be nothing but a PFR
