Chapter 3 Nonideal reactor analysis
Chapter objectives
Upon successful completion of the chapter, one should be able to
• Explain the difference between PFR and tubular reactor.
• Explain the difference between CSTR and MFR.
• Identify and model the nonidealities in chemical reactors.
• Propose ideal reactor arrangements and flow schemes that offer best representations of the nonidealities.
• Model a chemical reactor with an awareness of the role of mixing in its performance.
• Define macromixing, micromixing, and segregated flow concepts.
• Use tanks-in-series, axial dispersion, and RFR concepts interchangeably in modeling chemical reactors with knowledge of the limitations of each concept.
• Choose between different ...
