Problem Statement
P.9-16B The elementary liquid phase reaction
A B
is carried out in a CSTR. Pure A is fed at a rate of 200 lb mol/h at 530 R and a concentration of 0.5 lb mol/ft. [M.
Shacham, N. Brauner, and M. B. Cutlip. Chem. Engr. Edu. 28 (1), 30 (Winter 1994).] The mass density of the solution
is constant at 50 lb/ft³.
(a) Plot G(T) and R(T) as a function of temperature.
(b) What are the steady-state concentrations and temperatures? [One answer T= 628.645 R, C A = 0.06843 lb mol/ft³]
Which ones are stable? What is the extinction temperature?
(c) Apply the unsteady-state mole and energy balances to this system. Consider the upper steady state. Use the values
you obtained in part (b) as your initial values to plot C A and T versus time up to 6 hours and then to plot C A versus T.
What did you find? Do you want to change any of your answers to part (b)?
(d) Expand your results for part (c) by varying T 0, and Ta. (Hint: Try T0= 590°R]. Describe what you find.
(e) What are the parameters in part (d) for the other steady states? Plot T and C A as a function of time using the steady-
state values as the initial conditions at the lower steady state by value of T 0= 550 R and T0= 560 R. Start at the lower
steady state (T = 547.1, CA = 0.425) and make a CA/T phase-plane plot for the base case in part (a) T 0 = 530. Now
increase Ta to 550 and then to 560, and describe what you find. Vary T 0.
(f) Explore this problem. Write a paragraph describing your results and what you learned from this problem.

When we start a CSTR, we turned off outlet product stream and let the reactor to
achieve steady state condition. At the start CSTR have un-steady state condition in
which reactor produce maximum product then as the time passes the reaction start
to move gradually towards steady-state condition. At steady-state there is no
change in temperature, concentration etc with respect to time. For the same reaction
either we change initial conditions but the system maintain its steady-state
condition.
