Batch Derivation

General Mole Balance on System Volume V



Batch

No inflow or outflow-

Assumptions

Well mixed

Rearranging and integrating with limits
   t = 0       N_A = N_A0
   t = t₁      N_A = N_A1

Multiplying by -1 and changing the limits of integration

This equation gives the time t₁ necessary to reduce the number of moles in a batch reactor from N_A0 initially to N_A1.
