Chemical Conversion in Laminar Flow Reactors

Also each F curve is related to its corresponding E curve. Thus at any time or 0, 

Since plastics and nonnewtonians are often very viscous they usually should be treated by the convective model of this chapter. The E, E, and E curves for various situations besides newtonian fluids in circular pipes have been developed, for example, 

These E equations and corresponding charts plus sources to various other analyses can be found in Levenspiel, (1996).

In the pure convection regime (negligible molecular diffusion) each element of fluid follows its own streamline with no intermixing with neighboring elements. In essence this gives macrofluid behavior. From Chapter 11 the conversion expression is then
