Series reaction in CSTR

A B C
K1 = 1 volume = 5 L CAi = 1 mol/L
K2 = 0.5 FAi = 1 m3/s
Assumptions:
1) Rection is assumed to take place in isothermal conditions. (Let the reactions be
exothermic, the heat added at each point is considered equal to the heat taken by
the coolant in the jacket), no need for energy balance.
2) Constant volume and density, perfectly mixed.
3) Perfectly insulated (no heat loss).

Overall balance:
𝑑(𝜌𝑉)
= FAi - F => FAi = F
𝑑𝑡

Component Balance:
A Balance
𝑑𝐶𝑎
= FAi (CAi -CA)/V - K1CA
𝑑𝑡

B Balance
𝑑𝐶𝑏
= - FAi CB/V - K2CB^2 + K1CA
𝑑𝑡

C Balance
𝑑𝐶𝑐
= - FAi CC/V + K2CB^2
𝑑𝑡
