Impossible Flow Chemistry Examples in Multi-CSTR Cascades
Nikolay Cherkasov,

Flow chemistry is excellent but everyone knows the limitations such as handling solids. Other limitations are implied and come from an interplay of parameters – the fluid velocity determines residence time, pressure drop, and mixing/heat transfer. CSTR cascades provide rapid mixing even at slow fluid feed rate. They could keep solids suspended and handle gas excess. We discuss examples that demonstrates the benefits of CSTRs.
