with the Apparatus
The whole unit is assembled rigidly on a base plate and mounted on a stand.
Most of the parts are powder coated and rest are painted with auto paints
In an ideal CSTR (i.e. an ideal steady state flow reactor) the
contents in reactor This set-up is used to study a non-catalytic
homogeneous second order liquid phase reaction under ambient
condition.The setup consists of three CSTR arranged in series and two
feed tanks through which two reactants are fed to the reactor.
Rotameters are provided to measure the individual flow of Chemicals. The
flow rate can be adjusted by operating the needle valves provided on
respective Rotameter. The compressed air is used for circulation of
feed. Reactants from feed tanks enter in the first CSTR and are passed
to second CSTR and so on. For analysis samples are collected from
different ports provided. Pressure Regulator, Pressure Gauge and Safety
Valve are fitted in the compressed air line
