Reactor Characteristic Operation

Continuous-Stirred  Open system The reaction is well-mixed and the products
Tank Reactor  Steady-state condition are removed continuously.
(CSTR)  Uniform composition

Plug Flow Reactor  Also known as tubular Reactants are continuously fed into the
(PFR) reactor reactor. Plug flow down the reactor, reaction
 Steady state takes place. This results in an axial
 Ideally no back-mixing concentration gradient (change in
concentration over a distance from left to
right) but not radial direction. Product and
unreactive reactant floats out of the reactor
continuously.

Packed Bed  Fixed Bed Reactor Reactant enter at the top and flow through the
Reactor (PBR)  Often for catalytic packed bed(porous) catalyst. The product exits
