The different operation modes for heat conduction in chemical reactors visualized by blackboard sketches

I don't apologize for the 'sketch style' - that is my intention !! there are famous authors who apply this style: look at the reactor omnibook of O. Levenspiel for example !!

• I. adiabatic reactors:

  • 1.) the batch STR:

    
    
    
    please realize: the T(t)-function is not linear (contrary to the T(U)-function!!)
    
    

  • 2.) the ideal TFR:

    
    
    
    
    

  • 3.) the ideal CSTR:

    
    
    
    
    

• II. not adiabatic reactors:

  • 1.) the batch STR:

    
    
    
    
    

  • 2.) the ideal TFR:

    
    
    
    
    see a slide which explains the autothermal process, try to understand the temperature profiles
    
    

  • 3.) the ideal CSTR:
