Abstract

The residence time distribution for the flow of power-law non-Newtonian liquids in a tubular reactor of circular cross section has been derived. Assuming totally segregated flow, expressions for the fractional conversion calculation for isothermal conditions and simple irreversible reactions of any order have been established. Based on a numerical computer integration of these relations general charts have been worked out for the determination of reactor performance. An approximate solution may also be obtained by applying a simple empirical correction to reactor performance calculated for Newtonian liquids.
