What is Residence Time?

Residence time is the average time a substance spends in a reactor or a system. It is a crucial parameter in chemical engineering and environmental studies to understand the efficiency and behavior of reactors and systems.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the residence time:

\[ RT = \frac{500}{50} = 10 \text{ min} \]

The residence time is 10 minutes.
