Compartmentation of a PFR and STR. Each section is homogeneously mixed and represented by a partial differential equation that usually has an accumulation term, a source/sink term due to bacterial growth and death, and convection and diffusion terms (in/out) which describe the environmental conditions. Other than the PFR, the STR needs finer discretization due to tangential mixing.
