Levenspiel plot

A Levenspiel plot is a plot used in chemical reaction engineering to determine the required volume of a chemical reactor given experimental data on the chemical reaction taking place in it. It is named after the late chemical engineering professor Octave Levenspiel.

For a continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR), the following relationship applies:

${\displaystyle V=F_{Ao}\left({\frac {1}{-r_{A}}}\right)X}$

where:

For a plug flow reactor (PFR), the following relationship applies:

${\displaystyle V=F_{Ao}\int _{0}^{X}{\frac {1}{-r_{A}}}dX}$
