CSTR and
Fluidized Bed
Reactor
Figure below shows the diagram of a CSTR where inlet and outlet
streams are continuously fed and removed, respectively. Fluidized bed
reactors are sometimes treated as stirred tank reactors . The key
characteristics of a CSTR are steady-state operation, good mixing
leading to spatially uniform concentration and temperature, and the
condition of the outlet stream being the same as the condition in the
reactor. CSTR is used for liquid-phase reactions and is suitable for
viscous liquids.
