What Factors Determine the Optimal Agitation Speed?
The optimal agitation speed depends on various factors:
Type of Catalyst: The physical form and size of the catalyst particles can influence the required agitation speed. For instance, nanoparticles may require different speeds compared to bulk catalysts. Viscosity of the Reaction Mixture: Higher viscosity fluids typically require higher agitation speeds to achieve adequate mixing. Reactor Design: The geometry and size of the reaction vessel can also impact the optimal agitation speed.
