Stability and Sensitivity of Reactors Accomplishing Exothermic Reactions

6 I Stability and Sensitivity of Reactors Accomplishing Exothermic Reactions 

Schematic illustration of a CSTR that is maintained at temperature T by transferring heat to a coolant fluid (F, T% 

The energy balance on the CSTR can be written as [from Equation (9.5.1) with a first-order reaction rate expression]  

Calculate the steady-states for the following reactor configuration. Is there an unstable steady-state Data  

solve the material balance equation for fg (gives two values for/g—one will have physical meaning) at a particular T and next calculate and Qg. A sampling of results is provided below (assume v,.Cp UAh for the calculation of Qr).
