CSTRPULSE - Continuous Stirred-Tanks, Tracer Experiment

4 CSTRPULSE - Continuous Stirred-Tank Cascade Tracer Experiment [Pg.325]

A system of N continuous stirred-tank reactors is used to carry out a first-order isothermal reaction. A simulated pulse tracer experiment can be made on the reactor system, and the results can be used to evaluate the steady state conversion from the residence time distribution function (E-curve). A comparison can be made between reactor performance and that calculated from the simulated tracer data. [Pg.325]

Component balances for the three tanks give Tank 1 [Pg.326]

Information from tracer experiments can be used to calculate the steady state conversion according to the following relationship (Levenspiel, 1999) [Pg.327]
