Details

Three liquid-phase reactions take place in an isothermal batch reactor:

, with reaction rate ,

, with reaction rate ,

, with reaction rate ,

where is the concentration of component , is rate of reaction, and is the rate constant.

Mass balances on each component:

,

,

,

,

,

,

where is time, are moles of , and is reactor volume. Initially 10 moles of and 5 moles of are fed into the reactor.

The screencast video at [1] shows how to use this Demonstration.
