Description:

A Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor is made to have a steady state flow of the contents in reactor .This set-up is used to study a non-catalytic homogeneous second order liquid phase reaction under controlled environment. The training setup consists of three CSTR arranged in series with two feed tanks through which two reactants are fed to the reactor. The individual flow of Chemicals is measured by Rota-meters attached to feed tanks. Needle valves are provided on respective Rota-meter so that the flow rate can be adjusted by operating them. Compressed air is used for the circulation of feed. Reactants from feed tanks enter in the first CSTR and are passed to second CSTR and so on. Samples are for analysis collected from different ports provided on the training set-up. Pressure Gauge, Pressure Regulator and Safety Valve are fitted in the compressed air line to measure the constant air pressure for safety purpose.
