| Abstract: | This paper proposes a mathematical model for the operation of a non- ideal plug flow reactor in a saponification pilot plant of a typical process industry in Lagos, Nigeria. The residence time distribution (RTD) analysis technique involving tracer experiments was used. The model also gives a prediction of the number of ideal continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTR) that could represent the non-ideal plug flow reactor (PFR) in question. Simulated results reveals that 8.18 number of ideal stirred tanks in series would represent the non-ideal plug flow reactor under study. |
