Question: A single irreversible chemical reaction, A ? B, takes place in a non-isothermal continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR), as shown in figure 2.6. The reaction rate

A single irreversible chemical reaction, A ? B, takes place in a non-isothermal continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR), as shown in figure 2.6. The reaction rate expression is given by Eqs. (2-62) and (2-63). 11 is desired to derive the transfer function between reactor concentration CA and coolant temperature, T. Someone has proposed the following approach: first derive the Individual transfer functions between cA, and T and between T and Tc. Then the desired overall transfer function wilt be obtained from the product of the two individual transfer fractions

CA6) T6) T(s) T.(s) T'(s) T.(s)

Briefly indicate your opinion of the proposed approach. Is it feasible? Is there a better approach? (Note: It is not necessary to actually derive any transfer functions.)
