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

QUANTUM BIOLOGY - EXAMPLE 33.9 : (a) Let ^ be the symbol of power where 10 ^ 1 = 10, 10 ^ 2 = 100, 10 ^ 3 = 1000 etc. Total energy consumption of the brain is about 25 Watts, whereas a Blue Gene computer requires 1.5 Mega Watts. Blue Gene computer performs at 1 petaflop. In a human body, there are approximately 10 ^ 16 synapse operations per second i. e. at least 10 petaflops. Prove by calculations that a human brain is more energy efficient than a Blue Gene computer. (b) Quantum effects and quantum entanglement in the brain are identical to quantum gravity and string theory. If one is true, the other is true. What conclusion can be made if quantum effects in the brain and quantum gravity are true?
