Consider an exothermic reaction occurring in a batch reactor, as shown in Figure 6.10. The reaction mechanism is a first-order reaction,  and the Arrhenius reactionrate law applies, i.e.

The system is described by the material balance,

and the energy balance,

with the initial conditions C_A(0) = C_A0, T (0) = T₀.
