ADIABATIC BATCH REACTOR

An adiabatic batch reactor is a close system with no input and output streams. This reactor is operated under conditions like adiabatic (Temperature of reaction Mass keep on changing), perfectly mixed (composition of reaction mixture is uniform throughout), and constant volume (volume of the reaction mixture within the reactor remains constant, there is no appreciable change in the density of reaction mass). This set-up is used to study a catalytic homogeneous reaction under adiabatic condition.

This set-up consists of a Dewar Flask of capacity 1 lit. fitted with a stirrer. This flask is double insulated by ceramic wool insulation. Temp. is measured by digital temperature indicator.
