Dynamics of a Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor

4 Processes Governed by Ordinary Differential Equations 2.2.4.1 Dynamics of a Continuous Stirred-Tank Reactor 

We consider here the same continuous reactor of Section 2.2.3.S under unsteady-state conditions. Assuming that all temperature dependent parameters remain constant at some average values, the mass and energy balances in the CSTR are governed by the following equations  

The above equations constitute a system of first-order nonlinear differential equations whose steady-state versions are given in the previous section.
