Question:

Consider an exothermic reaction occurring in a batch reactor, as shown in Figure 6.10. The reaction mechanism is a first-order reaction, AB, and the Arrhenius reactionrate law applies, i.e.r = kCA = koe-Ea/RT CA.

The system is described by the material balance,dCA dt = -11 -Koe-Ea/RT CA = fi(CA, T),

and the energy balance,dT dt = - r(-AH)V  U A(T  Tw) Vpcp = f2(CA, T),

with the initial conditions CA(0) = CA0, T (0) = T0.
