Computer Controlled Isothermal Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor (Isothermal CSTR) (Model No. HVO-CRE-02C)
Computer Controlled Isothermal Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor (Isothermal CSTR)
Description
In an ideal CSTR (Le. 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. Peristaltic pumps are provided to measure the individual flow of Chemicals. Constant temperature water bath arrangement is provided to conduct the experiment at various temperatures. Reactants enter at lower end coming out of the top of reactor from where samples are collected and passed through conductivity meter for analysis..
