Talking CSTR

SIDE NOTE Combinations of rate vectors 1=1 (talking CSTRs)... 

A common name for the system is the talking CSTRs system, which derives its name from the reactor structure required to produce this effect. This is shown in Figure 8.19.

I m not talking about fun you can have at an amusement park, but CRE fun. Now that we have an understanding on how to solve for the exit concentrations of multiple reactions in a CSTR and how to plot the species concentrations down the length of a PFR or PBR, we can addre.ss one of the most important and fun areas of chemical reaction engineering. This area, discussed in Section 8.3, is learning how to maximize the desired product and minimize the undesired product. It is this area that can make or break a chemical process financially. It is also an area that requires creativity in designing the reactor...
