General Considerations Material and Energy Balances

1 Material Balance Volume of Reactor Rate of Production 

For continuous operation of a CSTR as a closed vessel, the general material balance equation for reactant A (in the reaction A vr C +. .. ), with a control volume 

Operationally, we may write this word statement in various ways, as done in Section 

in terms of molar flow rates, with only unreacted A in the feed (/Ao = 0), 

The interpretation of the various quantities with respect to location about the reactor
