About This Product
The stimulus-response technique is used to predict how a real vessel will behave as a chemical reactor. Real reactors drift from ideal plug flow because of channelling, recycling within the vessel, or stagnant pockets of fluid, and the RTD curve plotted from tracer samples shows how far this coil departs from the ideal.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main objective of this set-up?
To plot the RTD curve for a plug flow reactor, using tracer injected at the lower end and samples collected at the top.
Why do real reactors deviate from plug flow?
Deviation can come from channelling of fluid through the vessel, recycling of fluid within it, or stagnant regions or pockets of fluid.
