Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor

Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor

---

This set-up is used to study a non-catalytic homogeneous second order liquid phase reaction under ambient condition.  
The flow rate can be adjusted by operating the needle valves provided on respective Rotameter.
The compressed air is used for circulation of feed.
An ideal steady state flow reactor the contents in the reactor are well mixed and have a uniform composition throughout.
This type of reactor is known as mixed flow reactor.
CSTR is fitted with a stirrer for proper mixing.
From the top outlet of it, samples are collected for analysis.
The exit stream has the same composition as the fluid within the reactor.  
Pressure Regulator, Pressure Gauge, and Safety Valve are fitted in the compressed air line.
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.
To study the progress of a suitable Chemical Reaction Engineering Lab Equipments CSTR.
To determine the Reaction Rate Constant.
