About This Product
Axial diffusion and dispersion in packed beds matter in the design and operation of separation equipment and chemical reactors, and the tracer technique is the usual way to study them. Students perturb the bed with a pulse of tracer, sample the outlet periodically and plot the RTD curve, from which the dispersion number is determined. Educational Lab Equipments can supply and export the RTD Packed Bed Reactor Apparatus to Bolivia, France, Guyana, Afghanistan and Zambia.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the experiment determine?
The RTD curve for the packed bed reactor and the dispersion number, from samples taken after a pulse tracer input.
What is the column packed with?
Raschig rings of borosilicate glass, about 8 to 10 mm, inside a borosilicate glass column.
