 Conclusion
• From the results received as shown in the picture, we can see Residence Time
to achieve 90% reaction conversion in a CSTR is about 39 minutes.
• Both the analytical solution and design spec in Aspen HYSYS produced the
same required residence time of the same value.
• The residence time for a CSTR is longer than for a batch reactor or PFR
because of the back-mixing: product is mixed in with the feed, slowing the
reaction.

same strategy can be applied for much more complex reactions and multi - tube
reactors, which would be much more difficult to attempt to solve using hand
calculations.

 CONCLUSIONS

From the results received as shown in the pictures, we can see that Molar Flowrate
of Water Feed is 50 kgmole/h when Distillate Rate is 100 kgmole/h. The stream
Distillate contains mostly unreacted water. This water can be recycled to the reactor
in order to reduce the feed water requirements (as well as eliminate a waste stream)
