Recirculation through a Stirred-Tank Reactor

Recirculation Through a Stirred-Tank Batch Reactor 

The system is illustrated in Fig. 4.3. Electrolyte flows into the reactor at a concentration of and immediately mixes with the electrolyte in the cell at a concentration of c 2 which is also the concentration of the exit liquor. A mass balance over the reactor gives  

At steady state and assuming again limiting current operation, Eq. (4.34) becomes  

Adopting again the pseudo-steady state approximation for the recirculation system and eliminating combining Eq. (4.36) with Eq. (4.26), the 

Rearranging, separating variables, and integrating Eq. (4.37) over the same
