Ideal continuous stirred tank design
uses the conversion rate and outlet reaction rate to determine the reactor volume.
symbols, variables and units
V: m³; F_A0: mol/s; X: conversion rate; −r_A: mol/(m³·s).
applicable conditions and boundaries
Steady-state ideal fully mixed flow, calculated according to the material balance of component A; the thermal effect needs to be solved separately.
formula source code
The following is a copyable LaTeX expression.
V=\frac{F_{A0}X}{(-r_A)_{\mathrm{exit}}}Reference and Extended Learning
