CRE Lab- homogeneous
In an ideal Plug Flow Reactor (PFTR) there is no mixing in the direction of flow and complete mixing perpendicular to direction of flow. Concentration of reactants varies along the length of reactor but not in radial direction. In case of a coil turbulence is introduced due to frequent change in direction of flow and presence of secondary flow, so a higher value of reaction rate constant is expected in coil tube type plug flow reactor. This set-up is used to study a non-catalytic homogeneous reaction under isothermal condition. The set up consists of two feed tanks through which two reactants are fed to the reactor. Rotameters are provided to measure the individual flow of Chemicals. The flow rate can be adjusted by operating the needle valves provided on respective Rotameter.
Control panel comprises of Digital Temp. Controller : PID Controller, 0-199.9°C (For Water Bath) Standard make on/off switch, Mains Indicator etc. An ENGLISH instruction manual consisting of experimental procedures, block diagram etc. will be provided along with the Apparatus. The whole set-up is well designed and arranged on a rigid structure painted with industrial PU Paint.
