Isothermal Semi-Batch Reactor.
Isothermal Semi-Batch Reactor
An isothermal semi-batch reactor is a semi-closed system with one
input stream.
It is operated under conditions like Isothermal
(Temperature of Reaction Mass remains constant) and perfectly mixed
(composition of reaction mixture is uniform throughout).
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. Before starting the reaction the
reactor charged with measured quantity of one reactant. From a feed tank
another reactant is fed to the reactor. Using a sampling pipette
samples can be taken out for analysis after fixed interval. Rotameter is
provided to measure the flow of Chemicals. The magnetic drive pump is
used for circulation of feed. 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 70C with the help of Digital Temperature
indicator Cum Controller
