Chemical Reaction Engineering
Chapter 4, Part 1:
Applying the Algorithm to a CSTR
Summary
At the start of the chapter we saw we needed -rA=f(X). This result is achieved in two steps.
1. Rate Laws
– -rA=k f(Ci)
– 1st order A--> B or 1st order
– 2nd order A+B --> C
– Rate laws are found by experiment
2. Stoichiometry
– Liquid:
– Gas:
