R.T.D. STUDIES IN PLUG FLOW TUBULAR REACTOR (COILED TUBE TYPE) APPARATUS

Product Description

Description:

Real reactors do not satisfy the idealized flow patterns,back mix flow or plug flow deviation from ideality can be due to channeling offluid through the vessel, recycling of fluid within the vessel or due to thepresence of stagnant region or pockets of fluid in the vessel. To predict theexact behavior of a vessel as a Chemicals reactor, RTD or stimulus responsetechnique is used.

The setup consists of one feed tank through which water isfed to the reactor.

The flow rate can be adjusted by operating the needle valveand measured by Rotameter.

The compressed air is used for circulation of feed. It is ahelical coil tube type plug flow reactor made up of Stainless steel pipe.Reactants enter at lower end coming out of the top of coil from where samplesare collected for analysis. For understanding the R.T.D. characteristics, aspecial arrangement to inject tracer into the lower end of reactor, using asyringe is provided.

Pressure Regulator & Pressure Gauge are fitted in thecompressed air line.

Experimentation:

To plot RTD curve for Plug Flow Reactor.

To determine the Dispersion No.
