CRE – 010 CASCADE CONTINUOUS STIRRED TANK REACTOR

C.S.T.R is a reactor in which the content are well stirred and uniform throughout . Thus exit stream from this reactor has the same composition as the fluid within the reactor. We can refer also mixed type reactor The reactants are initially charged in to a container, mixed well and then left to react for certain period of time. At any instant the composition throughout the rector is uniform.
