Description
This Benchtop CSTR in Series is designed
to introduce students to the dynamic
behaviour of reactors in series.
This unit consists of:
• Reactors – three reactors made of borosilicate
glass, capacity 1 L each
• Stirrer system – variable speed motor with speed
controller and indicator, stainless steel impeller
• Sump tanks
• Dead-time coil
• Conductivity meters
• Flow meters
Experimental capabilities:
• Mass balance analysis
• Dynamic behaviour of CSTR in series
• Effect of step change and pulse input
• Non-ideal reactor behaviour using dead-time coil
