Example 12.4-2 Second-Order Reaction in a Stirred Tank 

NONIOEAL FLOW PATTERNS AND POPULATION BALANCE MODELS -------- 

However, in Chapter 10 an alternate result was found for a second-order reaction in a perfectly mixed reactor by simply writing a mass balance without reference to RTD  

This comparison by Metzner and Pigford [18] indicates that matters are not as straightforward as the above developments would indicate. The next example will illustrate another facet of this problem, and then a discussion will be given.
