Notes:
A reactor system consisting of a cascade of N perfectly mixed stirred tanks followed by a plug flow reactor was analyzed. Compared with a single-stage closed system, a substantial reduction in the total reaction time was indicated for systems using cascades of three or more stirred tanks. Calculations for both the micromixed and the segregated systems showed no significant difference between the respective total residence times.
