I have a question regarding the completely mixed flow reactor; I’d like to ask the more experienced folks for advice
Thread Content
I work on hydrolysis reactors for urea solutions; due to temperature and pressure considerations, it is not appropriate to use agitators in such reactors in order to achieve the conditions of a fully mixed reactor. Direct steam heating is used (where steam is introduced directly into the reactor after passing through a distributor). I would like to ask those with more experience: how can I calculate and design this process in order to determine whether the steam I introduce ensures uniform mixing within the reactor? In other words, what is the maximum volume of solution that can be uniformly mixed using a certain amount of steam? I hope those experienced in this field will kindly share their insights. It would be great if detailed formulas or reference books could be provided. Thank you very much once again.
This problem has been bothering me for a long time. I’m trying my best and hope to get everyone’s help
