Plug Flow Reactor (Straight Tube Type )
In an ideal Plug Flow Reactor (PFTR) there is no mixing in the direction of flow and complete mixing perpendicular to direction of flow. Concentration of reactants varies along the length of reactor but not in radial direction: This set-up is used to study a non-catalytic homogeneous reaction under ambient condition.
The set up consists of two feed tanks
through which two reactants are fed to the reactor. Rotameters are
provided to measure the individual flow of Chemicals. The flow rate can
be adjusted by operating the needle valves provided on respective
Rotameter. The magnetic drive pump is used for circulation of feed. A
straight tube type reactor kept horizontally and inclined upward at
outlet from where samples are collected for analysis
