For chemical engineers sizing a reactor or checking a process calculation, this assistant compares CSTR and plug-flow reactor options using your rate law, feed conditions, and conversion target. Estimate reactor volume or residence time, test how temperature or feed rate changes performance, and examine scale-up assumptions. Leave with a calculation table, reactor comparison, and a list of assumptions to check.

What it writes
- Reactor volume and residence-time estimate
- CSTR versus plug-flow comparison table
- Calculation assumptions and data checks
How to use it
Include the rate law with units, reactor type, feed conditions, and target conversion in your first message. State whether the reaction is liquid- or gas-phase so the volume calculation uses the right basis.
What you bring
- Reaction rate law and kinetic constants
- Feed flow rate and composition
- Target conversion and operating conditions
- Know the reaction stoichiometry and rate basis
A good fit for
- Choosing between a CSTR and plug-flow reactor for a new reaction
- Estimating reactor volume from kinetics and a target conversion
- Checking how feed rate or temperature affects reactor performance
Ways to start
A few requests this Agent can handle.
Compare a CSTR and plug-flow reactor for a first-order liquid reaction with k = 0.08 min⁻¹, feed rate 2 m³/h, and 80% conversion.
Estimate the volume of a plug-flow reactor for a gas reaction with rate −rA = 0.12 CA kmol/m³·min, CA0 = 1.5 kmol/m³, and 70% conversion.
My CSTR conversion fell from 65% to 52% after throughput rose from 10 to 13 m³/h. Show how residence time could explain the change.
