Plug flow
In
fluid mechanics, Plug Flow is a simple way of modelling
flow of a
fluid in a
pipe or, more generally, a
reactor. Essentially no back mixing is assumed with "plugs" of fluid passing through the reactor. This results in differential equations (DEs) that need to be integrated to find the reactor conversion and outlet temperatures.

Plug Flow
Type of flow the occurs in tanks, basins, or reactors when a slug of water moves through without ever dispersing or mixing with the rest of the water flowing through.
