Tubular Reactor

Tubular Reactor

A small-scale tubular reactor for use with the Chemical Reactor Service Unit capable of demonstrating large-scale behaviour
The 20m long reactor coil is mounted in a clear acrylic vessel through which heating or cooling medium is circulated. Volume of reactor coil is 0.4l
Two heat exchanger coils bring the reactants up to the reaction temperature separately before they are mixed to start the reaction
Fitting points for temperature and conductivity sensors (supplied with the Chemical Reactor Service Unit).

Features & Benefits:
Determination of reaction rate constant using a tubular reactor
Effect of varying the temperature on reaction rate
Effect of varying the reactant concentration on reaction rate
Effect of varying the feed rate
Investigation of the effect of throughput on conversion
Demonstration of the temperature dependence of the reaction and the rate constant
Determination of the residence time distribution
Study of the effect of flow rate on conversion
To determine the kinetic constant of a reaction using an indicator for visually monitoring.
