A real plug flow reactor has a residence time distribution that is a narrow pulse around the mean residence time distribution.
12.
In tube type reactors ( with or without static mixing ), adequate mixing can be achieved without seriously compromising plug flow.
13.
This problem can be managed by breaking up the reactor into a series of mixed stages separated by small plug flow channels.
14.
An ideal plug flow is assumed i . e . any flow velocities are constant and no back mixing of components happens.
15.
An advantage of the plug flow model is that no part of the solution of the problem can be perpetuated " upstream ".
16.
Vessel occlusion tends to be a positive feedback system; an occluded vessel creates eddies in the normally laminar flow or plug flow blood currents.
17.
Segmented flow uses a " Plug Flow " approach where specific volumetric experimental mixtures are created and then injected into a high pressure flow reactor.
18.
There is however a measure of conflict between good mixing and plug flow since mixing generates axial as well as radial movement of the fluid.
19.
The plug flow characteristics of a half coil jacket permits faster displacement of the heat transfer fluid in the jacket ( typically less than 60 seconds ).
20.
Phumdis could be harvested in a sustainable manner by conversion into fuel and compost by installing Plug Flow Bioreactors in a modular manner around the lake perimeter.
