Isothermal Batch Reactor

Isothermal Batch Reactor

Description:-

A batch reactor can operate under conditions like Isothermal (Temperature of Reaction Mass remains constant), perfectly mixed (composition of reaction mixture is uniform throughout), and constant volume (volume of the

reaction mixture within the reactor remains constant, there is no appreciable change in the density of reaction mass).

This set-up is used to study a non-catalytic homogeneous reaction under isothermal condition.

A batch reactor is a closed system with no input and output streams. 

The set up consists of a Reactor fitted in a constant temperature water bath. 

The temperature of the bath can be maintained from ambient to 90ºC with the help of Digital Temperature indicator Cum Controller.

Samples can be taken out with the help of a sampling pipette. 

One stirrer is fitted for mixing the reactants in reactor and other is fitted in a water bath to keep the uniform temperature throughout in the bath.
