1、3.1平推流反应器平推流反应器thePlugFlowReactor平推流反应器(PFR):反应器中的流动状态是人们设想的一种理想流动,即在反应器内具有严格均匀的速度分布,且轴向没有任何混合。PFRischaracterizedbythefactthattheflowoffluidthroughthereactorisorderlywithnoelementoffluidovertakingormixingwithanyotherelementaheadorbehind.Actually,theremaybelateralmixingoffluidinaPFR;however,theremust

3、就可以得到PFR的基础设计方程式。在PFR中进行平推流动时,物料衡算式有如下特点:(1)由于流动处于稳定状态,各点浓度、温度和反应速度均不随时间而变化,故单元时间上t可任取;(2)由于沿流动方向浓度、温度和(rA)都在改变,故应取单元体积VdV;(3)稳定状态下,单元时间、单元体积内反应物的积累量为零。Steady-statePlugFlowReactorInaplugflowreactorthecompositionofthefluidvariesfrompointtopointalongflowpath;consequently,thematerialbalanceforareaction
