Abstract:
On the basis of spatial-temporal characteristic of ideal reactors, the inherent relations among the batch reactor, the plug flow reactor (PFR), and the continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) were discussed. Both the F and E functions of the recycle PFR reactor were derived. The role of CSTR in series or the recycle PFR as a bridge or a link among the ideal reactors was addressed. Based on the discussion, the relations among the ideal reactors were briefly summarized.
