what is ifference between PFR ,MFR and batch reactor?

Answer / saptarshi
PFR and MFR are basically continuous type reactors while
the batch reactor as its name suggests, is non continuous
type of reactor. however a MFR can be both batch or
continuous.
in a PFR composition varies along the length of the reactor
whereas in a MFR composition of the reactant mixture is
uniform throughout the reactor and same as that in the exit
line. MFRs usually are equipped with an agitating device
(stirrer, agitator) for mixing the reactants but in case of
PFRs mixing takes place pependicular to the direction of
flow of reactants and they do not have any agitating device
as such.

Answer / rajesh kumar bhagat
PFR- plug flow reactor is one where latrel mixing is allowed
but longitudnal mixing that is along the length not allowed.
composition changes along the length.
MFR- mixed flow reactor, composition throughout the reactor
will be same and all calculation will be done on output
composition.
Batch reactor- reactant will placed in reactor and let them
react and after some time or after completion of reaction take
it out.

Answer / praveen
Also in addition to those, in a MFR the concentration of the
reactant drops to a low value at a time whereas for PFR the
concentration of the reactant decreases progressively (i.e
stepwise)and higher conversions can be obtained than MFR for
a given reaction.

Answer / sapna
pfr,mfr are bassically continuous reactor&batch reactor are
non-continuous reactor.
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 11 Yes | 4 No |
Answer / saeed virk
in pfr the composition will change within the passage of time ,almost when feed is directed to the reactor length.it means composition is not same at inlet and out lat of the reactor.reactor. Cstr is totally vice virsa of this.

Answer / vasista
but u will get same performance equations for batch and pfr why?
and batch reactors will have mean residence time and plug flow reactor has residence time why?
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 1 Yes | 0 No |
Answer / ravishankarraju
Pfr is continuos reactor wher the flow is plug flow wher there will concentration change along the length of the flow and in mfr there will be mixing all over the reactor which is similar to batch reactor but mfri in mfr the concentration drops suddenly

Answer / hemanth
pfr and cstr are continuos reactors and batch opreate sin
batch mode

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.22 : An engineering company intends to produce a small piece of biochemical instrument for sales. Let A = overall fixed cost of production, B = variable cost of production per unit, C = selling price per unit, D = quantity of unit produced. Breakeven Analysis is used where revenue = cost. (a) Explain the role of Breakeven Analysis by using A, B, C and D. (b) Find the value of Contribution Margin in term of A, B, C and / or D. (c) At the breakeven point where revenue = cost, derive an equation of D as a function of A, B and C.
