class CADETProcess.processModel.TubularReactor(total_porosity, length, diameter, axial_dispersion, flow_direction, c, name)[source]#

Class for tubular reactors and tubing.

Class can be used for a regular tubular reactor.

Attributes:
cList of unsigned floats. Length depends on n_comp

Initial concentration of the reactor.

solution_recorderTubularReactorRecorder

Solution recorder for the unit operation.
