A Continuous Flow Reactor is a type of chemical reactor where reactants are continuously fed into the system, and products are simultaneously removed. This setup allows for a steady-state operation, which can enhance reaction efficiency and control. It is commonly used in industries such as pharmaceuticals and petrochemicals to produce large quantities of chemicals with consistent quality. These reactors can vary in design, including options like plug flow reactors and stirred tank reactors. Continuous flow reactors often provide better heat and mass transfer compared to batch reactors, making them suitable for reactions that require precise temperature and concentration control.
