Adiabatic Batch Reactor.
Adiabatic Batch Reactor
An adiabatic batch reactor is a closed system with no input and
output streams.
This reactor is operated under conditions like adiabatic
(Temperature of Reaction Mass keep on changing), perfectly mixed
(composition of reaction mixture is uniform throughout), and constant
volume (volume of the reaction mixture within the reactor remains
constant, there is no appreciable change in the density of reaction
mass). This set-up is used to study a catalytic homogeneous reaction
under adiabatic condition.
The set-up consists of a Dewar flask
of capacity 0.7 lit. fitted with a stirrer. The flask is double walled
vacuum insulated. Temp. is measured by digital temp indicator. The whole
setup is mounted on a rigid M.S. frame
