PDF The Material Balance for Chemical Reactors - Rawlings Group

First-order, irreversible The B concentration is determined from the A concentration. 1 Solve the material balance for component B, dc B dt R B kc A (4.10) with the initial condition for B, c B 0 c B 0 2 Note that the sum of c A and c B is constant. d c A c B dt R A R B 0 Therefore, c A c B is a constant. 15/153 First-order, reversible ................
