What does a reactor look like?

A reactor typically appears as a large, cylindrical vessel made of metal, designed to contain and facilitate chemical reactions. It often features various inlet and outlet pipes for reactants and products, as well as temperature and pressure gauges. Depending on its purpose, a reactor may have internal components such as stirring mechanisms or heat exchangers to enhance mixing and control conditions. Safety features, such as pressure relief valves and containment structures, are also common.
