On the Residence Time Curves of the Continuous Reactors

Abstract

Such a reactor model as fulfils the eq. (2) -i.e. mean diffusivity and velocity are able to be assumed is proposed and the residence time curves of the model are mathematically solved as eq. (7)-(8)'.Based on them, we discussed various behaviours of such a reactor model.From comparisons between the model and the measurements performed by Gilliland et. al.4), 5), 6) mainly on the fluidized bed, we have concluded that the model is able to give fairly good representation to the experimental results.Based on such a quantity as U, we have discussed the characteristics on the concentration driving force of various flow reactors and concluded that the term U seems to be a representative quantity of such characteristics.
