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 Zero Order Reaction using Rate Constant for Plug Flow?
Space Time for Zero Order Reaction using Rate Constant for Plug Flow calculator uses Space Time in PFR = (Reactant Conversion in PFR*Initial Reactant Concentration in PFR)/Rate Constant for Zero Order Reaction to calculate the Space Time in PFR, The Space Time for Zero Order Reaction using Rate Constant for Plug Flow formula is defined as the time necessary to process volume of reactor fluid for zero order reaction where fractional volume change is considerable. Space Time in PFR is denoted by 𝛕pfr symbol.
