Nonadiabatic stirred tank

Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor The Nonadiabatic Case... 

Some specific aspects in the modeling of gas-liquid continuous-stirred tank reactors are considered. The influence of volatility of the liquid reactant on the enhancement of gas absorption is analyzed for irreversible second-order reactions. The impact of liquid evaporation on the behavior of a nonadiabatic gas-liquid CSTR where steady-state multiplicity occurs is also examined. 

A major breakthrough with regard to the understanding of this phenomenon in the field of chemical reaction engineering was achieved by Ray and co-workers (20,21) when, in one stroke, they uncovered a large variety of possible bifurcation behaviours in nonadiabatic continuous-stirred tank reactors (CSTRs). In addition to the usual hysteresis-type bifurcation, Uppal et al. (21) uncovered different types of bifurcation diagrams, the most important of which is the isola, which is a closed curve disconnected from the rest of the continuum of steady states.
