STABIL - Stability of Chemical Reactors with Disturbances

11 STABIL - Stability of Chemical Reactors with Disturbances 

The stability of a first-order exothermic reaction A— B, in a single CSTR with jacket cooling has been studied by Seborg (1971), and the usefulness of simulations for this type of investigation has been emphasised by Luus (1972). The influence of sinusoidal, feed-temperature variations is corrected by simple 

Substituting the data values of Seborg (1971), as listed in the Nomenclature, the model equations become the same as used by Luus (1972) 

Here the feed temperature (To) and the base-level, coolant temperature in the jacket (Tco) re both taken as 530 R. 

Since the reduced form of the model is programmed here, the parametric values cannot be easily changed.
