Segregation Model with Side Exits

COMPLETE SEGREGATION MODEL WITH SIDE EXITS  

A material balanee on an elemental volume AV of the reaetor between ages X and A. -i- dA. follows. 

Fig ure 9-6. A plug flow reactor with side exits. 

Eaeh fluid element eontaining moleeules of the same age during its passage through the reaetor ean be eonsidered as a small bateh reaetor. The mean eoneentration overall fluid elements at the reaetor outlet is the expeeted eoneentration of all fluid elements over the RTD.

A real system must lie somewhere along a vertieal line in Figure 9-5. Performanee is within the upper and lower points on this line namely maximum mixedness and eomplete segregation. Equation 9-10 gives the eomplete segregation limit. The eomplete segregation model with side exits and the maximum mixedness model are diseussed next.
