Isothermal Batch Reactor.
Isothermal Batch Reactor
A batch reactor is a closed system with no input and output streams.
A
batch reactor can operate under conditions like Isothermal (Temperature
of Reaction Mass remains constant), 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 non-catalytic homogeneous reaction under isothermal
condition.
The set up consists of a Reactor fitted in a constant
temperature water bath. One stirrer is fitted for mixing the reactants
in reactor and other is fitted in water bath to keep the uniform
temperature throughout in the bath. The temperature of bath can be
maintained from ambient to 90 C with the help of Digital Temperature
indicator Cum Controller. Samples can be taken out with the help of a
sampling pipette
