CRE – 015 PACKED BED REACTOR

When the variation in reaction rate within a reactor is so large , we choose to account for these variations in the method of analysis , then we have packed bed reactor , since rates are concentrations dependant such large variation may be expected to occur when compositions of reactant fluid changes significantly passing through the reactor.

  1. Study of Packed bed reactor.
  2. To calculate the reaction rate constant k for given reaction in Packed bed reactor
