Chapter 11: Nonisothermal Reactor Design: The Steady State Energy Balance and Adiabatic PFR Applications

Example CD8-2 Solution - Derivation

   


Second Order Reaction Carried Out Adiabatically in a CSTR

 
   

6. Solve the Mole Balance for XMB as a function of T:

 

Rearranging gives:

 

Our equation for X has taken the form of a quadratic equation, so we solve for X accordingly:

 

After some final rearranging we get:

 

  
   

Return
