    This document outlines objectives, theory, and procedures for determining the activation energy, rate order, and rate constant of a chemical reaction using a continuously stirred-tank reactor (CSTR). The objectives are to determine the activation energy and preexponential factor as well as the rate order and rate constant. The theory section describes material balances and equations for CSTR batch and flow reactions. The procedure details setting up and running an experiment in a CSTR to collect data at different temperatures for analysis.

    OBJECTIVES

    To determine the activation energy and its preexponential


    factor.

    To determine the rate order and rate constant of the
    reaction
    Theory

    A stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) may be operated either as a
    batch reactor or as a steady-state flow (CSTR). The key or main
    feature of this reactor is that mixing is complete so that properties
    such as temperature and concentration of the mixture are
    uniform in all parts of the vessel. Material balance of a general
    chemical reaction is described below.



    The conservation principle required that the mass of
    species A in an element of reactor volume V obeys the
    following statement:

    Rate of A into volume element + Rate of A produced within
    volume element Rate of A out of volume element = Rate
    of A accumulated within volume element
    In batch reactions, there are no feed or exit streams and
    therefore can be simplified into:

    Rate of A produced within the volume element = Rate of A
    accumulated within volume element

    The rate of reaction of component A is defined as:

    =




    By this definition, if A is a reaction product, the rate is positive;
    whereas if it is a reactant which is consumed, the rate is
    negative.
    By rearranging the equation:



    Integrating the equation:
    =

    )()

    Where:
    t = time required to achieve a conversion XA for either
    isothermal or non-isothermal operation

    For an isothermal steady state CSTR, the component mass
    balance equation is:

    =


    Since for a flow reactior CA = FA/Q & since Q is
    constant(constant volume system), then this equation becomes:

    + =

    Substituting for r, the following equation can be obtained:

    ()(

    )(
