3. Residence time distribution in ideal reactors

3.1 Piston reactor

As already mentioned, the piston reactor behaves like a pure delay, i.e. the same disturbance occurs at the outlet as at the inlet, with a delay equal to the average residence time of the fluids in the reactor.

Denoting the Dirac impulse by δ (t ), the residence time distribution function takes the form :

E(ts)=δ(tst¯s)
