About This Product
In an ideal plug flow reactor there is no mixing in the direction of flow and complete mixing perpendicular to it, so the concentration of reactants changes along the length of the reactor but not across it. Here a straight tube reactor is used under ambient condition. Students run the saponification reaction, analyse the samples collected at the outlet and determine the reaction rate constant.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Which experiment can be done?
A saponification reaction study in a straight tube plug flow reactor, to determine the reaction rate constant.
Q2. How are the flows controlled?
Rotameters measure the individual flow of chemicals and needle valves on them adjust the flow rate. A magnetic drive pump circulates the feed.
Q3. What else is needed to run it?
A water supply and drain, plus instruments, laboratory glassware and chemicals for analysis as per the system adopted.
