What is Plug Flow Reactor?
The plug flow reactor model (PFR, sometimes called continuous tubular reactor, CTR, or piston flow reactors) is a model used to describe chemical reactions in continuous, flowing systems of cylindrical geometry. The PFR model is used to predict the behavior of chemical reactors of such design, so that key reactor variables, such as the dimensions of the reactor, can be estimated.
How to Calculate Space Time for First Order Reaction for Plug Flow?
Space Time for First Order Reaction for Plug Flow calculator uses Space Time in Batch Reactor = (1/Rate Constant for First Order in Batch Reactor)*ln(1/(1-Reactant Conversion in Batch)) to calculate the Space Time in Batch Reactor, The Space Time for First Order Reaction for Plug Flow formula is defined as the time necessary to process volume of reactor fluid for first order reaction where fractional volume change is zero. Space Time in Batch Reactor is denoted by 𝛕Batch symbol.
How to calculate Space Time for First Order Reaction for Plug Flow using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Space Time for First Order Reaction for Plug Flow, enter Rate Constant for First Order in Batch Reactor (kbatch) & Reactant Conversion in Batch (XA Batch) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Space Time for First Order Reaction for Plug Flow calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.047986 = (1/25.09)*ln(1/(1-0.7105)).
