SCRE-02 Isothermal C.S.T.R
GENERAL DISCRIPTION
In an ideal CSTR (i.e. an ideal steady state flow reactor) the contents
in reactor are well mixed and have uniform composition throughout.
Thus the exit stream has the same composition as the fluid within the
reactor. This type of reactor is known as mixed flow reactor. This set-
up is used to study a non-catalytic homogeneous second order liquid
phase reaction under isothermal condition. The set up consists of two
feed tanks through which two reactants are fed to the reactor. Rota
meters are provided to measure the individual flow of Chemicals. The
flow rate can be adjusted by operating the needle valves provided on
respective Rota meter. The compressed air is used for circulation of
feed. The CSTR is fitted with stirrer for proper mixing. From top
outlet of it samples are collected for analysis. Constant temperature
water bath arrangement is provided to conduct the experiment at
various temperatures. Pressure Regulator, Pressure Gauge and Safety
Valve are fitted in the compressed air line.
