Model Reactors - Batch Reactor
3 important questions on Model Reactors - Batch Reactor
What are the characteristics of a Batch Reactor?
- No in- or outlet concentration and/or products
- Ideally mixed: no concentraion gradients inside reactor
- Control-volume = total fluid volume of BR -> Integral balance
Why has a first order reaction no effect of varying density in a Batch-Reactor?
In a Batch-Reactor, the reaction rate is primarily influenced by the concentration of reactants.
Thus, these factors ensure that varying density has no substantial impact.
- First-order reactions depend on reactant concentration.
- Density changes do not significantly affect concentration in constant volume.
- The reaction rate remains proportional to reactant concentration.
- Variations in density do not alter molecular interactions at standard conditions.
Thus, these factors ensure that varying density has no substantial impact.
When do you have a semi-Batch reactor?
When the reactor has a in- or outlet.
