1. Start-up of CSTR: Mass Balance for Component A: The balance for A

can be described by:
dCA
= Accumulationof Ainthereactor
dt
On the right-hand side, we have three terms:
1. Fin · CA0 - This is the flow rate of A into the reactor.
2. Fout · CA - This represents the flow rate of A out of the reactor.
3. r1 · V - The reaction consumption of A in the reactor.
Equating the accumulation and the sum of these three terms, we get:

CAt = Fin · CA0 − Fout · CA − r1 · V (2)

The same logic applies for Component B, giving:

CBt = Fin · CB0 − Fout · CB − r1 · V (3)

1: Start-up of CSTR Mathematical Model: 1. Mass Balance for A:

dCA
= F in · CA0 − F out · CA − r1 · V (4)
dt
Where r1 is the reaction rate for A.
2. Mass Balance for B:
dCB
= F in · CB0 − F out · CB − r1 · V (5)
dt
3. Reactor Level:
dV
= F in − F out (6)
dt
Given that F out only begins when V = 5, So if V < 5:

F out = 1

if V ≥ 5:
F out = 0
