Plug Flow Reactor (PFR)
A PFR with tubular geometry has perfect radial mixing but no axial mixing. All materials hav the same residence time, τ, and experience the same temperature and concentration profiles along the reactor. Equation for PFR is given by:
where M = molar flow rate, dV is the incremental volume, and R is the rate of reaction per unit volume.
