Example B: Liquid Phase CSTRThe complex liquid phase reactions take place in a 2,500 dm3 CSTR. The feed is equal molar in A and B with FA0=200 mol/min, the volumetric flow rate is 100 dm3/min and the reation volume is 50 dm3.
Find the concentrations of A, B, C and D existing in the reactor along with the existing selectivity.
Plot FA, FB, FC, FD and SC/D as a function of V

SelectivityIf one were to write SC/D=FC/FD in the Polymath program, Polymath would not execute because at V=0, FC=0 resulting in an undefined volume (infinity) at V=0. To get around this problem we start the calculation 10-4 dm3 from the reactor entrance where FD will not be zero and use the following IF statement. (15)
