What is Plug Flow Reactor?
The plug flow reactor model (PFR, sometimes called continuous tubular reactor, CTR) is normally the name given to a model used in chemical engineering to describe chemical reactions in continuous, flowing systems of cylindrical geometry. The PFR model is used to predict the behaviour of chemical reactors of tubular design, so that key reactor variables, such as the dimensions of the reactor, can be estimated.
How to Calculate Initial Reactant Concentration for Second Order Reaction for Plug Flow?
Initial Reactant Concentration for Second Order Reaction for Plug Flow calculator uses Initial Reactant Conc for 2nd Order Plug Flow = (1/(Space Time in PFR*Rate Constant for Second Order Reaction))*(2*Fractional Volume Change in PFR*(1+Fractional Volume Change in PFR)*ln(1-Reactant Conversion in PFR)+Fractional Volume Change in PFR^2*Reactant Conversion in PFR+((Fractional Volume Change in PFR+1)^2*Reactant Conversion in PFR/(1-Reactant Conversion in PFR))) to calculate the Initial Reactant Conc for 2nd Order Plug Flow, The Initial Reactant Concentration for Second Order Reaction for Plug Flow formula is defined as the concentration of reactant before the considered reaction for second order reaction where there is considerable fractional volume change. Initial Reactant Conc for 2nd Order Plug Flow is denoted by CoPlugFlow symbol.
