Homogeneous Reactions:
In an ideal CSTR (i.e. an ideal steady state flow reactor) the contents in reactor This set-up is used to study a non-catalytic homogeneous second order liquid phase reaction under ambient condition. The setup consists of three CSTR arranged in series and two feed tanks through which two reactants are fed to the reactor. Peristatltic pumps are provided to measure the individual flow of Chemicals. The flow rate can be adjusted by operating the knobs provided on respective pump. The compressed air is used for circulation of feed. Reactants from feed tanks enter in the first CSTR and are passed to second CSTR and so on. For analysis samples are collected from different ports provided.

The present set-up has a facility to interface the system with computer which enables to log the experimental data using computer. The educational software and data-logging package has been developed for unit. The software environment base is of Lab view . This software is compatible to interfacing unit designed by Engineers. This software package provides a comprehensive educational software environment within which the investigations can be performed. This software is capable to tabulate the sample readings according to the requirement of experiment under study and results obtained can be compared. The real time data acquisition can be done by interfacing the set-up with computer using software. Software allows the user to have control on data logging, printing the stored data, preparing spread sheets in Excel
