2.5.1 CSTRs in Series
The first scheme to be considered is the two CSTRs in series shown in Figure 2-4.
Figure 2-4. Two CSTRs in series.
For the first reactor, the rate of disappearance of A is –rA1 at conversion X1.
A mole balance on reactor 1 gives
In – Out + Generation = 0
2-19
The molar flow rate of A at point 1 is
2-20
Combining Equations (2-19) and (2-20), or rearranging
2-21
Reactor 1
In the second reactor, the rate of disappearance of ...
