In chemical engineering, chemical reactors are vessels designed to contain chemical reactions. One example is a pressure reactor. The design of a chemical reactor deals with multiple aspects of chemical engineering. Chemical engineers design reactors to maximize net present value for the given reaction. Designers ensure that the reaction proceeds with the highest efficiency towards the desired output product, producing the highest yield of product while requiring the least amount of money to purchase and operate. Normal operating expenses include energy input, energy removal, raw material costs, labor, etc. Energy changes can come in the form of heating or cooling, pumping to increase pressure, frictional pressure loss (such as pressure drop across a 90° elbow or an orifice plate) or agitation. Chemical reaction engineering is the branch of chemical engineering which deals with chemical reactors and their design, especially by application of chemical kinetics to industrial systems. Chemical reactor engineering is also a typical hot glue making machine. It's stainless steel container made from gears , mixing devices ,heating devices, cooling devices. Chemical reactor applies to unsaturated resins, alkyd resins, acrylic resins, polyurethane resins, lotion , white latex, PU glue, adhesive and waste silica gel pyrolysis. ==Overview== There are a couple of main basic vessel types: *A tank *A pipe or tubular reactor (laminar flow reactor(LFR)) Both types can be used as continuous reactors or batch reactors, and either may accommodate one or more solids (reagents, catalyst, or inert materials), but the reagents and products are typically fluids. Most commonly, reactors are run at steady-state, but can also be operated in a transient state. When a reactor is first brought into operation (after maintenance or inoperation) it would be considered to be in a transient state, where key process variables change with time. There are three main basic models used to estimate the most important process variables of different chemical reactors: * ''batch reactor'' model (batch), * ''continuous stirred-tank reactor'' model (CSTR), and * ''plug flow reactor'' model (PFR). Furthermore, catalytic reactors require separate treatment, whether they are batch, CST, or PF reactors, as the many assumptions of the simpler models are not valid. Key process variables include * Residence time (τ, lower case Greek tau) * Volume (V) * Temperature (T) * Pressure (P) * Concentrations of chemical species (C1, C2, C3, ... Cn) * Heat transfer coefficients (h, U) * Chemical reactor manufacturer (h, U) A chemical reactor, typically tubular reactor, could be a packed bed. The packing inside the bed may have catalyst to catalyze the chemical reaction. A chemical reactor may also be a fluidized bed; see Fluidized bed reactor. Chemical reactions occurring in a reactor may be exothermic, meaning giving off heat, or endothermic, meaning absorbing heat. A chemical reactor vessel may have a cooling or heating jacket or cooling or heating coils (tubes) wrapped around the outside of its vessel wall to cool down or heat up the contents. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chemical reactor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
