Simple Batch Reactor
This is a simple model of an batch stirred tank reactor (BSTR). Assuming a reaction system of
\[\mathrm{A} \rightarrow \mathrm{B}\]
the following system of differential equations can be derived:
\[\begin{align*} \frac{\mathrm{d} \, c_\mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{d} \, t} &= - k \, c_\mathrm{A} \\ \frac{\mathrm{d} \, c_\mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{d} \, t} &= k \, c_\mathrm{B} \end{align*}\]
| Name | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|
| $c_\mathrm{A}$ | $\mathrm{mol \, L^{-1}}$ | Molar concentration of species A |
| $c_\mathrm{B}$ | $\mathrm{mol \, L^{-1}}$ | Molar concentration of species B |
