Temperature Effects in Stirred Tank Reactors

The following mass and energy balances describe the CSTR. 

For laminar flow in the coolant jacket, the overall heat-transfer coeflicient 

K = proportional feedback controller gain C2 = unit conversion constant for controller, ma/°K G3 = steady-state controller output (ma) 

The reaction rate constant follows the Arrhenius temperature dependency of 

the steady-state model for the cooling jacket is only valid for positive flows through the cooling jacket. Therefore the additional constraint
