For the reactor (CSTR) shown in Fig. P5–16 , determine the transfer function that relates the exit concentration from the reactor to changes in the feed concentration. If we instantaneously double the feed concentration from 1 to 2 mol/L, what is the new exiting concentration 1 min later? What is the new steady-state reactor concentration?

The rate constant is

2 (mol/L)(min) 5 L/min CA0 = 1 mol/L. Reaction : 24 - B Rate law : -rA = kC,? 5 L/min CA0 = 0.2 mol/L Volume = 50 L FIGURE P5-16
