k Reactor (CSTR)Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR)A continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) is a type of chemical reactor that is widely used in industrial processes to produce chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and other products. In a CSTR flow reactor, reactants are continuously fed into the reactor vessel, where they are mixed and allowed to react, producing the desired products.The CSTR consists of a large tank or vessel, typically made of stainless steel, which is equipped with a stirring mechanism, such as a mechanical stirrer or an agitator, that keeps the reactants in motion and ensures that they are well-mixed. The reactants are introduced into the tank through inlet ports, and the products are continuously removed through outlet ports.The ke

What is the difference between batch reactor and CSTR?

describe CSTR and High-rate reactors and differencesbetween them

The following reaction goes to 80% completion in a CSTR. A and B are fed to the reactor at rates of 2mol/s and 3 mol/s respectively at a temperature of 370C. Specific heats (in J/mol-K) of A, B, C and Dare 200, 150, 220 and 180 respectively.A B C D  The reactor is jacketed by water at a temperature of 200C. The overall heat transfer coefficient hasbeen estimated at 300 J/(m2.s.K), while the heat transfer area is 0.75 m2. Mixing is ensured throughan agitator, which contributes a work of 12 kW to the reactor. The heat of reaction is -30 kJ/mole ofA at 300 K. Calculate the steady state temperature in the reactor

A liquid-phase reaction 𝐴 → 𝐵 + 𝐶, is carried out in a batch reactor at a temperature of 150 oC. Dissociationof reactant A to products B and C follows non-elementary rate equation which is given by(−𝑟𝐴) = 𝑘1𝐶𝐴21+ 𝑘2𝐶𝐴( 𝑘𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑚3.𝑚𝑖𝑛)The concentration CA is monitored at different time intervals and these values are reported below:Time,t, min. 0 7.5 16 35 60 85 120 170 240 360CA, kmol/m3 2.0 1.9 1.8 1.6 1.4 1.2 1.0 0.8 0.6 0.4Estimate the rate constants k1 and k2

The inert gas, N2 or Ar,was bubbled through the reactor to expel and ensure there is no O2 in the CSTR along the reaction. Slurry product wascollected through an overflowing pipe in the continuous co-precipitation mode.
