Model 1 The Ideal Discontinuous Stirred Tank Reactor DCSTR

1 Model 1 The Ideal Discontinuous Stirred Tank Reactor (DCSTR) 

The special conservation equation for the DCSTR, assumed to operate with ideal mixing and therefore with div grad Wi = 0 (see Equ. 2.3), follows from Equ. 3.87b, where = 0 = F and V = constant, that is, dV/dt = 0  

This equation is not only the conservation of mass equation it is also the definition of the rate of formation r 0) or consumption (rj 0) of a component. To calculate conversion, one integrates this equation.
