in a CSTR the feed concentration is constant while the discharge changes. in this case, since it's recycle what would the equation look like? i assume it's exponential in nature...i'm just curious what the constants would be as a rule of thumb relating to turnover rate required for 99%+...
thanks for the info. unfortunately, i'm talking about a high viscosity, shear-thinning lotion....so visual really won't cut it. i was hoping somebody might know of a rule of thumb for batch turnovers...maybe as a function of batch viscosity, reynold's number etc. i thought i had read...
I have a batch reactor where one of the intermediate steps is to pass the entire contents of the batch (reactor 1) over to reactor 2 for the mere purpose of passing the batch through a filter to remove solids on its way to reactor 2. Because we are processing it this way, 100% of the batch gets...
