Performance of a Continuously Stirred Tank or Mixed Flow Reactor

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.:

CAo: (moles of the limiting reactant, A)
b: (b = stoichiometric coefficient of Reactant, B)
M: (mole ratio - CBo/(b*CAo)
x: conversion
ε: fractional conversion
k: reaction rate constant
υ: volumetric flow rate
tau_m: residence time
ProcessConstant Pressure Constant Volume

Order of the reaction: Zero First, -rA= k*CA Second, -rA = k*CA2 Third, -rA = kCA3 Second, -rA = k*CA*CB
