Question

A CSTR is used in production of A → R Feed enters the reactor at a rate of vo(L/s), and the concentration of the reactant in the feed is CAo (mol A/L) The volume of the tank is V(L). Assume that the process is a well-mixed process, so that the concentration of A in product stream equals that in the tank. For this process, the rate of consumption of A equals kCA[mol/ (s L of reaction volume)] Assume that all fluids (feeds, tank contents and product) have the same density, ρ(g/L).
Write differential balance on total mass and mole of A, expressing the balances in term of the variables shown on the diagram below.

Answer 1

CSTR(Continous stirred tank reactor) is areactor runs at steady state with continous flow of reactants and products.Feed assumes a uniform composition throughout the reactor,exit stream has the same composition as in the tank.
