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.

PLUG FLOW REACTOR and MIXED FLOW REACTOR 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.

whereas in a MFR composition of the reactant mixture is

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.

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?

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

The water is superheated steam at 440 degree Celsius and 17.32 megapascals. Estimate the enthalpy of the steam above. From the steam table for water at 440 degree Celsius, enthalpy of steam, h at 18 megapascals is 3103.7 kilojoules per kilogram and at 16 megapascal is 3062.8 kilojoules per kilogram. Assume that h = mP c where P is pressure; m and c are constants at fixed temperature with small differences in P.

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING - QUESTION 22.3 : A well delivers 225 US-gallons per minute of water to a chemical plant during normal system operation. (a) Calculate its flowrate in the unit of mega US-gallon per day or MGD. (b) The following formula is written next to the chlorine feed point : (chlorine feed rate, lb / day) = (flowrate, MGD) X (dose, mg / L) x (8.34). If this formula is correct, then what should the chlorine feed rate to be in pounds per day (lb / day) if the desired dose is 2 mg / L. (c) Prove by calculations that the constant 8.34 in the formula next to the chlorine feed point is correct. Let 1 US-gallon = 3.78541 L and 1 mg = 0.0000022046 pound.

Question 79 - (a) The American Petroleum Institute gravity, or API gravity, is a measure of how heavy or light a petroleum liquid is compared to water. Let SG = specific gravity of petroleum liquid, and V = barrels of crude oil per metric ton. Given the formula for API gravity = 141.5 / SG - 131.5 and V = (API gravity + 131.5) / (141.5 x 0.159), find the relationship of SG as a function of V. (b) An oil barrel is about 159 litres. If a cylinder with diameter d = 50 cm and height h = 50 cm is used to contain the oil, find the volume V of the cylinder in the unit of oil barrel by using the formula V = 3.142 x d x h x d / 4. (c) First reference : 1 cubic metre = 6.2898 oil barrels. Second reference : 1 cubic metre = 6.37 oil barrels. What are the 2 factors that cause the difference in such reference data?
