NOCSTR - Non-Ideal Stirred-Tank Reactor

In this model of non-ideal reactor mixing, a fraction, fi, of the volumetric feed rate, F, completely bypasses the mixing in the reactor. In addition, a fraction, fj, of the reactor volume, V, exists as dead space. F3 is the volumetric rate of exchange between the perfectly mixed volume V] and the dead zone volume V2 of the reactor.

The component mass balances are as follows. For the well-mixed volume dC 

Note that the dead space is treated as having a region of uniform well-mixed composition.
