Concept introduction:
The conversion, X can be defined as the moles of any species A that are reacted per mole of A fed in the reactor.
The full form of CSTR is Continuous-Stirred Tank Reactor. This reactor has its application in the industrial processes. This reactor actually used for liquid-phase reactions.
The full form of PFR is Plug-Flow Reactor which consists of a cylindrical pipe and it is used for the gas-phase reactions.
The minimum amount of energy that is needed to initiate a chemical reaction is termed as activation energy. It is expressed as
