Feed rate
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-004368
The quantity of reactant material introduced into a chemical reactor or processing unit per unit of time. This parameter governs the residence time of reactants and influences the overall reaction rate, conversion, and product distribution within the system. Feed rate is expressed in units of mass per time (e.g., kg/h), volume per time (e.g., L/min), or moles per time (e.g., mol/s).
