Solving for Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor Concentration with Step Input

Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor Concentration with Step Input


Inputs:

initial concentration (C0
time (t) 
theoretical mean residence time (tR


Conversions:

initial concentration (C0) = 0    = 0  milligram/liter
time (t) = 0    = 0  second
theoretical mean residence time (tR) = 0    = 0  second


Solution:

concentration at time (C)  =  HAS NOT BEEN CALCULATED

step input

pulse input

step input:
when t < tR, C = 0
when t >= tR, C = C0

pulse input:
when t = tR, C = C0
when t < tR, C = 0
when t > tR, C = 0


Where
tR  =  theoretical mean residence time
V  =  reactor volume 
Q  =  reactor flow rate 
C  =  concentration at time 
C0  =  initial concentration
Cn  =  concentration at tank n
t  =  time
n  =  number of tanks
