  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-011423",
  "term": "Stirred flow reactor",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of chemical reactor where reactants are continuously fed into a vessel and products are continuously withdrawn, with the contents thoroughly mixed to maintain uniform composition and temperature throughout. This ideal mixing results in a spatially invariant concentration profile within the reactor. These reactors are often used in kinetic studies to determine reaction rates under steady-state conditions.",
