  Computer Controlled Isothermal Plug Flow Tubular Reactor

  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. This set-up is used to study a non-catalytic homogeneous reaction under isothermal condition. 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. The set up consists of two feed tanks through which two reactants are fed to the reactor. Peristaltic pumps are provided to measure the individual flow of Chemicals. The flow rate can be varied by changing the speed of peristaltic pump. Reactants enter at lower end coming out of the top of coil from where samples are collected for analysis. It is a helical coil tube type reactor kept in a constant temperature water bath to conduct the experiment at various temperatures.

  Chemical Reactor Service Unit

  This set-up is designed to conduct experiments on different types of chemical reactors on the same service unit. Different types of reactors i.e. Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR), Plug Flow Tubular Reactor (Coiled Tube Type) and Batch Reactor (which will be supplied on extra cost) as separate units can be installed on the service unit individually one at a time for conducting experiments. Basically this range of small-scale chemical reactors represents the most common types of chemical reactor found in industry. The reactors use the saponification reaction between ethyl acetate and sodium hydroxide. This provides a well-understood and safe reaction for the students to investigate the different reactor types.

  Computer Controlled Isothermal Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor

  In an ideal CSTR (i.e. an ideal steady state flow reactor) the contents in reactor are well mixed and have uniform composition throughout. Thus the exit stream has the same composition as the fluid within the reactor. This type of reactor is known as mixed flow reactor. This set-up is used to study a non-catalytic homogeneous second order liquid phase reaction under isothermal condition. The set up consists of two feed tanks through which two reactants are fed to the reactor. The flow rate can be varied by changing the speed of peristaltic pump. The CSTR is fitted with stirrer for proper mixing. Constant temperature water bath arrangement is provided to conduct the experiment at various temperatures.

  Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor

  In an ideal CSTR (i.e. an ideal steady state flow reactor) the contents in reactor are well mixed and have uniform composition throughout. Thus the exit stream has the same composition as the fluid within the reactor. This type of reactor is known as mixed flow reactor. This set-up is used to study a non-catalytic homogeneous second order liquid phase reaction under ambient 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. The compressed air is used for circulation of feed. The CSTR is fitted with stirrer for proper mixing. From top outlet of it samples are collected for analysis. Pressure Regulator, Pressure Gauge and Safety Valve are fitted in the compressed air line.
