SIMULATION OF RESIDENCE TIME DISTRIBUTION AND MIXING IN REACTORS WITH RECIRCULATION USING 2D APPROACH

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a 2D approach in order to create a mathematical model for the determination of the residence time distribution for a flow reactor with recirculation. Apart from characterizing the functional residence time distribution, this model can help improve the operation of the reactor at the design stage. The mathematical model was validated by comparison with experiments carried out in a hydraulic laboratory.

Keywords:

mathematical modeling, residence time distribution, reactors with recirculation, 2D approach
