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 using Rate Constant for Mixed Flow?
Space Time for First Order Reaction using Rate Constant for Mixed Flow calculator uses Space Time in MFR = (1/Rate Constant for First Order Reaction in MFR)*((Reactant Conversion in MFR*(1+(Fractional Volume Change in Reactor*Reactant Conversion in MFR)))/(1-Reactant Conversion in MFR)) to calculate the Space Time in MFR, The Space Time for First Order Reaction using Rate Constant 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 considerable for mixed flow. Space Time in MFR is denoted by 𝛕MFR symbol.
How to calculate Space Time for First Order Reaction using Rate Constant for Mixed Flow using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Space Time for First Order Reaction using Rate Constant for Mixed Flow, enter Rate Constant for First Order Reaction in MFR (k1MFR), Reactant Conversion in MFR (XMFR) & Fractional Volume Change in Reactor (ε) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Space Time for First Order Reaction using Rate Constant for Mixed Flow calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.067584 = (1/39.6)*((0.702*(1+(0.21*0.702)))/(1-0.702)).
