Abstrakt: In a previous paper, graphical plots were used to calculate the fractional conversion of reactant to product in batch and single pass electrochemical reactors under mass transport controlled conditions. This paper extends the approach to treat batch recycle, cascade and recycle loop reactors. These cases are common both in industry, and in pilot laboratory scale in universities. The working curves developed provide a rapid route to the calculation of reactor performance. These simulated curves, produced via standard spreadsheet/plotting software, help to illustrate a chemical engineering approach to science and technology students and short course delegates. The use of a family of working curves avoids the tedious calculation of fractional conversion over a range of process conditions and helps students to appreciate the use of graphical displays to describe the fractional conversion over electrochemical reactors.
