Stationary Conditions for a Nonisothermal Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor

Stationary Conditions for a Nonisothermal Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor 

A jacketed continuous stirred tank reactor characterized by an irreversible exothermic reaction A — B (Dash et al., 2003 Luyben, 1990). Assuming heat losses and constant densities to be negligible, the equations governing the system are as follows  

Proportional controllers are used to control the temperature T by manipulating the outlet coolant flow rate Fj and the volume V by manipulating the outlet reactant flow F of the reactor  

Under steady-state conditions, the nonlinear system consists of the previous equations in which the derivatives are null. The system must be solved with respect to the variables V, Ca, T, T .
