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

Product Description

Real reactors do not satisfy theidealized flow patterns, back mix flow or plug flow deviation from ideality canbe due to channeling of fluid through the vessel, recycling of fluid within thevessel or due to the presence of stagnant region or pockets of fluid in thevessel.

To predict the exact behavior ofa vessel as a Chemicals reactor, RTD or stimulus response technique is used.The set up consists of one overhead feed tank through which water is fed to thereactor.

Rotameter is provided to measureflow of water. The flow rate can be adjusted by operating the needle valveprovided on rotameter. A straight tube type reactor kept horizontally andinclined upward at outlet from where samples are collected for analysis.

For understanding the R.T.D.characteristics, a special arrangement to inject tracer into the lower end ofreactor, using a syringe is provided.

EXPERIMENATION:

To plot RTD curve for Plug FlowReactor.

To determine the Dispersion No.
