Irreversible, Two Reactants

A lot of insight into the CSTR control problem was gained in the previous section by considering only a very simple reaction. The importance of heat transfer area was clearly demonstrated. Thermal effects are dominant in reactor control, and these depend on net reaction rate, which is essentially set by conversion. Issues of yield and selectivity arise when more complex chemistry is involved, but these are not as important in terms of reactor controllability. [Pg.48]

The reaction considered is an exothermic, irreversible reaction, which is first-order in both reactants. There are two reactants and only one product, so there is a change in the number of moles entering and leaving the reactor. Mass is conserved, but moles are not  [Pg.49]

There are two fresh feedstreams of pure reactants entering the reactor with flowrates Fao and /-Bo and compositions Cao and Cbo, respectively. [Pg.49]

It is important to note that the units of the specific reaction rate k are no longer reciprocal second (s-1) but have changed to m3 s-1 kmol-1 because of the product of the two compositions. [Pg.49]
