Plug dow reactors, also known as
tubular reactors, consist of a
cylindnical pipe with openings on
each end for reactants and
products to Dow through, az
shown on the right
Plug flow reactors are usually
operated at steady-state.
Reactants are continually
consumed as they flow down the
length of the reactor.

The movie on the left shows the
operation of a plug flow reactor.
Plugs of reactants are
continuously fed into the reactor
from the left. Ag the plug flows
down the reactor the reaction
takes place, resulting in an axial
concentration gradient. Products
and unreacted reactants flow out
of the reactor continuously.

ug How reactors may be
onfigured as one long tube or a
umber of shorter tubes, They
‘atige in diameter from a few
entimeters to several meters
e choice of diameter is based
on construction cost, pumping
cost, and heat transfer needs
