How to Evaluate Reaction Rate in Reactor?

Reaction Rate in Reactor evaluator uses Reaction Rate = Change in Number of Moles/(Reactor Volume*Time Interval) to evaluate the Reaction Rate, The Reaction Rate in Reactor formula is defined as the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place, defined as proportional to the increase in the concentration of a product per unit time and to the decrease in the concentration of a reactant per unit time. Reaction Rate is denoted by r symbol.

How to evaluate Reaction Rate in Reactor using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Reaction Rate in Reactor, enter Change in Number of Moles (Δn), Reactor Volume (Vreactor) & Time Interval (Δt) and hit the calculate button.
