PLUG FLOW TUBULAR REACTOR (STRAIGHT TUBE TYPE) APPARATUS
In an ideal Plug Flow Reactor (PFTR)there is no mixing in the direction of flow and complete mixing perpendicularto direction of flow.
Concentration of reactants variesalong the length of reactor but not in radial direction.
This set-up is used to study anon-catalytic homogeneous reaction under ambient condition.
The set up consists of two feed tanksthrough which two reactants are fed to the reactor.
Rotameters are provided to measurethe individual flow of Chemicals.
The flow rate can be adjusted byoperating the needle valves provided on respective Rotameter.
The compressed air is used forcirculation of feed. Samples are collected for analysis from the outlet ofreactor. Pressure Regulator, Pressure Gauge and Safety Valve are fitted in thecompressed air line.
Experimentation:
Saponification Reaction Study instraight tube Plug Flow Reactor.
