How to Evaluate Time Constant for Mixing Process?

Time Constant for Mixing Process evaluator uses Time Constant = (Volume/Volumetric Flow Rate of Feed to Reactor) to evaluate the Time Constant, The Time Constant for Mixing Process formula is defined as the speed with which the measured Process Variable (PV) responds to changes in the Controller Output (CO). More specifically it represents the time needed for the PV to reach 63.2% of its total and final change. Time Constant is denoted by 𝜏 symbol.
