RTD Plug Flow Studies Kit
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. Reactants enter at lower end coming out of the top of coil from
where samples are collected for analysis
