Question ID: 368926
I am looking for literature on how to convert a Concentration vs. Time
profile from a Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) to a Plug Flow
Reactor (PFR). That is, if an experiment has been completed using
CSTR, how can I predict how this same experiment would behave in a
PFR. I already have the following information: concentration vs. time,
pH vs. time, conversion vs. time, concentration vs. volume, extraction
vs. volume.
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

dr_bob,
I'm impressed with your ability to provide useful references for a
multitude of topics in chemistry.  What's your major (in chem)? May I
also ask what your current job is, and what you accomplishment are?

Drbob is a po graduate student finishing a ph.d. in chemistry. He has
a spent a large number of years synthesizing various types of high
dollar floorwax with little or no guidance at all. As such he has
various publications and patents in the field of making stuff up.

 He spends hours in front of the computer when he should be schlepping
in front of his hood working on the mundane art of designing drugs
tailored to various nuclear receptors targeting cancer. He has a
multitude of experiences primarily in the drug discovery field. 
Before entering graduate school, he worked on projects ranging from
complex biophysics of DNA, to antisense, to traditional medicinal
chemistry, to combinatorial chemistry and robotic technology, and
building laboratory stuff with little or no knowledge of what he was
doing.

 As a confused undergraduate he took analytical chemistry from a short
statured evil gray haired man, who despite his foul temper, taught the
young dr.bob everything he wanted to know about math.  He has also
learned an enormous amount of biology from hanging out with young and
naive medical students who reaked of cadaver fluid.

 Lately, he has run afoul of the medical profession and has found
himself averse to all but the most timid of chemical agents. As such
he spends much of his time conducting in-silico chemistry experiments,
looking at alternative career paths such as doing investment research
for venture capital firms, and goofing around on google answers where
he pretends to know a lot.

 In his spare time he sits around in his bathrobe eating stale doritos
while trading the emini; and when the weather is just right, he sneaks
out to play golf to his adviser's dismay.

 When he finishes his ph.d he would like to sell his house near the
happiest place on earth for a tidy sum and move to the midwest to
weather the impending financial collapse of the american economy.

AHAHAHA, good one, bob.  Thanks for the info. :)
