Continuously Stirred Tank or Mixed Flow Reactor - Chemical Engineering Review for PE Examination

If a reaction is carried out in a stirred tank flow reactor its design equation is given as follows:

Module for calculating residence time for a desired conversion in a CSTR operating under constant pressure or volume conditions.:

C_Ao =		(moles of the limiting reactant, A)
b =		(b = stoichiometric coefficient of Reactant, B)
M		(mole ratio - C_Bo/(b·C_Ao)
x =		conversion
ε =		fractional conversion
k =		reaction rate constant
υ =		volumetric flow rate
τ_m =		residence time
