Batch Vs. Flow
Comparing parameters in Batch vs Flow:
- Reaction stoichiometry. In batch production this is defined by the concentration of chemical reagents and their volumetric ratio. In Flow this is defined by the concentration of reagents and the ratio of their flow rate.
- Residence time. In batch production this is determined by how long a vessel is held at a given temperature. In flow the volumemetric residence time is used given by the ratio of volume of the reactor and the overall flow rate, as most often, plug flow reactors are used.

Famous quotes containing the words batch and/or flow:
“Do you not know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough?”
—Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 5:6.
“Learning and teaching should not stand on opposite banks and just watch the river flow by; instead, they should embark together on a journey down the water. Through an active, reciprocal exchange, teaching can strengthen learning how to learn.”
—Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)
