Tanks in Series Model for Continuous Stirred Tank Electrochemical Reactor

It is attempted in the present investigation to study the residence time distribution of electrolyte in a continuous stirred tank electrochemical reactor. The electrolyte flow behavior has been experimented on by using both pulse and step input techniques. The exit age distribution curves obtained under various operating conditions are critically analyzed. A theoretical model based on tanks in series has been developed to describe the electrolyte flow behavior inside the continuous stirred tank electrochemical reactor, and the model simulations are validated with experimental observations
