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.

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

X is strong but has a very low density (1% of traditional earth materials.) and hence light weight. It is a recyclable material. The compression behaviour of X is strain rate dependent. Higher strain rates result in higher initial modulus and higher compression strength. It can also withstand unlimited number of cycling loading provided the repetitive loads are kept below 80% of the compressive strength. The internal structure of the material includes air-traps which make it poor heat conductor. X is non- biodegradable and chemically inert in both soil and water. Most acids and their water solutions do not attack it; however strong oxidizing acids do. Solvents which attack X include esters, ketones, ethers, aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons and their emulsions, among others. It does not support bacterial/fungal growth as well .It also has significant acoustic properties and effectively reduces the transmission of airborne sound. X is combustible and should not be exposed to open flame or other ignition sources. Combustion products are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water and soot. Long-term exposure to sunlight causes yellowing and a slight embrittlement of the surface due to ultraviolet light. X is able to withstand the rigours of temperature cycling, assuring long-term performance.
we have 2 O2/Comb Analyzers Servomex Model 2700 in service for one of the furnaces in our chemical plant. It is giving High Temperature Alarm. Checked Temperature and found it to be 800 Deg C whereas Set Point is 700 Deg c. It is strange why is temperature not at SP. Also response is 23 % with 21 % Inst Air and with N2 reading is not coming down. please clarrify this issuses very urgent
