RTD Studies in Plug Flow Reactor
Real reactors do not satisfy the idealized flow patterns, back mix
flow or plug flow deviation from ideality can be due to channeling of
fluid through the vessel, recycling of fluid within the vessel or due to
the presence of stagnant region or pockets of fluid in the vessel.
To
predict the exact behavior of a vessel as a Chemicals reactor, RTD or
stimulus response technique is used. The setup consists of one feed tank
through which water is fed to the reactor. The flow rate can be
adjusted by operating the needle valve and measured by Rotameter. The
magnetic drive pump is used for circulation of feed. It is a helical
coil tube type plug flow reactor made up of Stainless steel pipe.
Reactants enter at lower end coming out of the top of coil from where
samples are collected for analysis.
For understanding the RTD
characteristics, a special arrangement to inject tracer into the lower
end of reactor, using a syringe is provided
