PFR Reactor Data and Calculations

The document reports on the results of experiments run using different reactor configurations: 1. A single-stage plug flow reactor (PFR) achieved full conversion of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) within 25 minutes with an average flow rate of 386.75 mL/min and average residence time of 7.76225 minutes. 2. A single-stage continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) achieved about 70% conversion of NaOH after 30 minutes with an average flow rate of 398.714 mL/min and average residence time of 10.034 minutes. 3. A 3-stage CSTR system achieved about 81% conversion with an average flow rate of 390.8 mL/min
