About CASCADE CONTINUOUS STIRRED TANK REACTOR (CASCADE C.S.T.R.) APPARATUS

Specification:

CASCADE CONTINUOUS STIRRED TANK REACTOR (CASCADE C.S.T.R.)APPARATUS

Description:

In an ideal CSTR (i.e. an idealsteady state flow reactor) the contents in reactor this set-up is used to studya non-catalytic homogeneous second order liquid phase reaction under ambientcondition.

The setup consists of three CSTRarranged in series and two feed tanks through which two reactants are fed tothe reactor. Rotameters are provided to measure the individual flow ofChemicals.

The flow rate can be adjusted byoperating the needle valves provided on respective Rotameter.

The compressed air is used forcirculation of feed. Reactants from feed tanks enter in the first CSTR and arepassed to second CSTR and so on. For analysis samples are collected fromdifferent ports provided. Pressure Regulator Pressure Gauge and Safety Valveare fitted in the compressed air line.

Experimentation:

To study the performance of Cascadeof three equal volumes CSTRs in series for the saponification of a reaction.

To draw the performance chart for thereactor system and evaluate the reaction rate constant at ambient condition.
