    The document discusses four types of ideal reactors: batch, plug flow, continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR), and their key advantages and disadvantages. A batch reactor operates without flow in or out and provides high conversion per pass but has high labor costs. A plug flow reactor has no radial gradients and steady state flow but is difficult for large-scale production. A CSTR runs continuously at steady state with uniform composition and easy temperature control but has low conversion per volume.

    REACTORS

    BATCH CONTINUOUS

    PLUG FLOW REACTOR

    CONTINUOUS STIRRED TANK


    REACTOR
    Batch Reactor

    Perfectly mixed
    No flow in or out
    Advantages
    •  High conversion per unit volume for one pass
    • Flexibility of operation
    • Easy to clean
    Disadvantages
    • High labor costs per batch,
    • The variability of products from batch to batch,
    • difficulty of large-scale production
    Applications
    • High labor costs per batch,
    • The variability of products from batch to batch,
    • difficulty of large-scale production
    Plug Flow Reactor (PFR)

    No radial gradients – only axial


    Steady state
    The time spent in the reactor, the
    residence time, is equal for all
    elements:
    CONTINUOUS STIRRED TANK REACTOR
    • Run at steady state with continuous flow of
    reactants and products;
    • The feed assumes a uniform composition
    throughout the reactor, exit stream has the
    same composition as in the tank.
    Advantages
    • Good temperature control
    • Simplicity of construction
    • Low operating (labor) cost
    • Easy to clean
    • Disadvantages
    • Lowest conversion per unit volume
    • By-passing and channeling possible with poor
    agitation
