RTDs of Ideal and Real Reactors
The residence time distribution of a reactor can be used to compare its behavior to that of two ideal reactor models: the plug-flow reactor and the continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR), or mixed-flow reactor. This characteristic is important in order to calculate the performance of a reaction with known kinetics.
