Abstract

The study of nonideal mixing effect on the dynamic behaviors of CSTRs has very rarely been published in the literature. In this work, Cholette’s model is employed to explore the nonideal mixing effect on the dynamic response of a nonisothermal CSTR. The analysis shows that the mixing parameter n (the fraction of the feed entering the zone of perfect mixing) and m (the fraction of the total volume of the reactor), indeed affect the characteristic roots of transfer function of a real CSTR, which determine the system stability. On the other hand, the inverse response and overshoot response are also affected by the nonideal mixing in a nonisothemal CSTR. These results are of much help for the design and control of a real CSTR.
