DISCUSSION

Continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTR) are the most basic of the continuous
reactors used in chemical processes. Continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTRs) are
open systems, where material is free to enter or exit the system, that operate on a
steady-state basis, where the conditions in the reactor don't change with time.
Reactants are continuously introduced into the reactor, while products are
continuously removed. CSTRs are very well mixed, so the contents have relatively
uniform properties such as temperature, density, etc. throughout. Also, conditions in
the reactor's exit stream are the same as those inside the tank. Pictured below is a
CSTR that has yet to be fitted with a stirring system. The continuous stirred tank
reactor or back mix reactor is a very common processing unit in chemical and
polymer industry. Its names suggest, it is a reactor in which the contents are well
stirred and uniform throughout. The CSTR is normally run at steady state and is
usually operated so as a to be quite well mixed. The CSTR is generally modelled as
having no spatial variations in concentrations, temperature, or reaction rate
throughout the vessel. Since the temperature and concentration are identical
everywhere within the reaction vessel, they are the same at the exits point as they
are elsewhere in the tank
