WEBSep 24, 2022 · These equations thus provide a means of designing a reactor in order to achieve a desired production rate. For example, suppose we continuously flow \(10 \: \text{mol/s}\) of reactant \(\text{A}\) into a CSTR at a volumetric flow rate \(v = 0.1 \: \text{m}^3/\text{s}\).
Continuous stirred-tank reactor - Wikipedia
WEBThe continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR), also known as vat- or backmix reactor, mixed flow reactor (MFR), or a continuous-flow stirred-tank reactor (CFSTR), is a common model for a chemical reactor in chemical engineering and environmental engineering.
Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors (CSTR) | Flow Technology
WEBCSTR is a well-mixed reactor that continuously stirs reactants in a tank or vessel. In a CSTR, the reaction conditions are uniform throughout the reactor, and the reaction rate is determined by the flow rate of reactants into and out of the tank.
WEBApproach to steady state in a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR).

Two tanks in series. The output of the first tank is the input of the second tank.
Fundamentals of continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTRs)
WEBNov 21, 2022 · A CSTR is a reaction vessel that produces chemicals continuously, as the name implies. In the CSTR, two or more reactants are pumped into a vessel and allowed to react, with the product skimmed or drained away at the opposite end of the reactor.
WEBoperated CSTR will produce lower conversion per unit reactor volume against Plug Flow type reactors. In this chapter, design of Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor will be …
WEBContinuous-Stirred-Tank Reactor (CSTR) We next examine again the well-stirred reactor. Consider the following step-response experiment: a clear uid with owrate Q f enters a well-stirred reactor of volume V R. At time zero we start adding a small ow of a tracer to the feed stream and measure the tracer concentration in the e uent stream.
