SUMMARY

1. Solution algorithm
a. Design equations (Batch, CSTR, PBR):

b. Rate law: for example:

-rA = kC2, (S4-2)
c. Stoichiometry:
(1) Gasphase:

d. Combining, we have the following for the gas-phase reaction in a
CSTR with no AP
EAOx(1 +
V= (S4-S)
k<i( 1 - X)'

e. Parameter evaluation:
E = YAOs (S4-6)
(" 1 (S4-7)
cAO = YAO Eo

f. Solution techniques:
(1) Numerical integration-Simpson's rule
(2) Table of integrals
(3) Software packages
(a) POLYMATH
(b) MATLAB
