Reactor Design Maths

[OGMADDOG]

Please could someone talk me through the steps used to determine the reactor residence time. I have forgotten a lot of this maths and need a reminder.

Thanks for your time. What maths areas do I need to look at to understand all of reaction engineering again?

Please see attached file.

Plug Flow is easy
residence time = physical volume / flowing volume

Batch Reactor is easy
residence time = agitation time

You need math for Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors (CSTR).
To use the math, you need an assumed model of residence time distribution.

That's all from me

Shut down your computer and get yourself a copy of Levenspiel's textbook.
