ABSTRACT
There are numerous reactor types, but in this chapter the objective is to consider only a few common types. These are: batch, continuous stirred tank, homogenous plug flow and fixed bed catalytic reactors. To size other reactor types and for a more thorough treatment of reactor design than presented here, the reader can consult books written on reactor design, such as Fogler [16], Smith [23], and Forment and Bischoff [31].
