Plug Flow Reactor: For a plug flow reactor, the design equation
is given as
|
However, when reaction is conducted at constant volume the
design equation is identical to one for the batch reactor. If molar flow rate of component A is FAo and its concentration is
CAo, then
volumetric flow rate, υ, can be calculated as
|
And the reactor volume, V,
is given as
|
Integrated solutions for a variety of reaction-types at
constant pressures are provided below:
