Learning Outcomes

After completing Class 30 you should…

  • Know the definition/defining equation for series/parallel reactors, cascade, mixing point, splitting point, and heat exchanger
  • Understand
    • as the number of CSTRs connected in series increases, the behavior of the system approaches that of a PFR
    • when there is no heating or cooling between them, two PFRs connected in series are equivalent to a single PFR with the same total volume
    • mixing streams with unequal conversions should be avoided
  • Be able to
    • select and simplify the mole, energy, and momentum balance equations needed for modeling a system that consists of one or more reactors, splitting points, mixing points, and/or heat exchangers
    • solve sets of coupled ATEs and IVODEs numerically
