Effects of Flow Rate on Residence Time Distribution of a Tangentially Impinging Streams Reactor

In this study, residence time distribution of a tangentially impinging streams reactor directions have been studied. Residence time distributions was measured using the impulse tracer method at different flow rates of fluid injection, in order to compare their hydrodynamic behavior. A comparison made between the results, to choose a proper flow rate of injection to the reactor. It was found that by increasing the flow rates of injecting streams, oscilation in RTDs disappeared. All diagrams are described here.
