Batch reactor model



In a batch reactor having a volume V, an exothermic reaction from A to P is carried out in the liquid phase.
The reaction velocity is rA = kCA, where k depends on the temperature in the following form: k = k01exp(-k02/T), expressed in units of second to minus one. The reactor contains a heat exchanger with a surface A and it can be operated in the following two ways:

The batch reactor model has been extracted from (Froment, G. F. and K. B. Bischoff 1979).
The model is composed of a CV containig the liquid stored in the reactor, a TP modeling the reaction inside the reactor, a pump model and the model of the heat exchanger.
The heat exchanger model is composed of a temperature source and a resistor.

The input of liquid water is placed at the boiler bottom, and the vapor output valve is placed at the top. The output valve has the following constitutive equation: Fm = (F0)*sqrt(p(p-p0)), where p0 is the valve output pressure. The water contained in the boiler is continually heated. Two control volumes are considered:
