Well-Mixed Discontinuously Operated Non-isothermal Batch Reactor

1 Well-Mixed (Discontinuously Operated) Non-isothermal Batch Reactor 

Based on Eq. (4.10.4) the mass balance of a cooled batch reactor with a first-order reaction reads as follows, if we use Eq. (4.3.4) for the influence of temperature on the rate constant k  

For the heat balance of a cooled batch reactor we consider the following heat 

Adiabatic Operation of a Batch Reactor For adiabatic operation, the cooling term Tcooi) vanishes, and combination of equations (4.10.44) and (4.10.45) 

Thus for an exothermic reaction, the temperature increases proportionally with conversion X
