How to Evaluate Reactor Space Time?

Reactor Space Time evaluator uses Reactor Space Time = Reactor Volume/Volumetric Flow Rate of Feed to Reactor to evaluate the Reactor Space Time, A Reactor Space Time is the time necessary to process one volume of reactor fluid at the entrance conditions. This is the time it takes for the amount of fluid that takes up the entire volume of the reactor to either completely enter or completely exit the reactor. Reactor Space Time is denoted by 𝛕Reactor symbol.

How to evaluate Reactor Space Time using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Reactor Space Time, enter Reactor Volume (Vreactor) & Volumetric Flow Rate of Feed to Reactor (vo) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Reactor Space Time

What is the formula to find Reactor Space Time?
