R.T.D. STUDIES IN PLUG FLOW TUBULAR REACTOR (STRAIGHT TUBETYPE) APPARATUS

DESCRIPTION:

Real reactors do not satisfy theidealized flow patterns, back mix flow or plug flow deviation from ideality canbe due to channeling of fluid through the vessel, recycling of fluid within thevessel or due to the presence of stagnant region or pockets of fluid in thevessel.

To predict the exact behavior of avessel as a Chemicals reactor, RTD or stimulus response technique is used. Theset up consists of one overhead feed tank through which water is fed to thereactor.

Rotameter is provided to measure flowof water. The flow rate can be adjusted by operating the needle valve providedon rotameter. A straight tube type reactor kept horizontally and inclinedupward at outlet from where samples are collected for analysis.

For understanding the R.T.D.characteristics, a special arrangement to inject tracer into the lower end ofreactor, using a syringe is provided.

EXPERIMENATION:

To plot RTD curve for Plug FlowReactor.

To determine the Dispersion No.
