What is continuous stirred-tank reactor?
The continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR), also known as vat- or backmix reactor, mixed flow reactor (MFR), or a continuous-flow stirred-tank reactor (CFSTR), is a common model for a chemical reactor in chemical engineering and environmental engineering. A CSTR often refers to a model used to estimate the key unit operation variables when using a continuous agitated-tank reactor to reach a specified output. The mathematical model works for all fluids: liquids, gases, and slurries.
How to Calculate Space Time for First Order Reaction for Mixed Flow?
Space Time for First Order Reaction for Mixed Flow calculator uses Space Time in Mixed Flow = (1/Rate Constant for First Order Reaction)*(Reactant Conversion in Mixed Flow/(1-Reactant Conversion in Mixed Flow)) to calculate the Space Time in Mixed Flow, The Space Time for First Order Reaction for Mixed Flow formula is defined as the time necessary to process volume of reactor fluid for first order reaction where fractional volume change is zero for mixed flow. Space Time in Mixed Flow is denoted by 𝛕mixed symbol.
