Isothermal Plug Flow Reactor.
Isothermal Plug Flow Reactor
In an ideal Plug Flow Reactor {PFTP} there is no mixing in the
direction of flow and complete mixing perpendicular to direction of
flow.
Concentration of reactants varies along the length of reactor but
not in radial direction. In case of a coil turbulence is introduced due
to frequent change in direction of flow and presence of secondary flow,
so a higher value of reaction rate constant is expected in coil tube
type plug flow reactor. This set-up is used to study a non-catalytic
homogeneous reaction under isothermal condition.
The set up
consists of 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 magnetic drive pump is used for
circulation of feed. It is a helical coil tube type reactor kept in a
constant temperature water bath to conduct the experiment at various
temperatures. Reactants enter at lower end coming out of the top of coil
from where samples are collected for analysis.
