A mathematical model is developed for solution copolymerization in a continuous stirred tank reactor. For the thermal copolymerization of styrene and acrylonitrile (SAN), the kinetic rate expression for thermal initiation is derived by applying the pseudo-steady-state hypothesis to the intermediates

A continuous stirred bioreactor with open-loop periodic behavior is analyzed under closed-loop conditions, using the dilution rate as control input. In the absence of control input bounds, the limiting substrate concentration converges to set point. When stringent bounds on control input are imposed
Microbial dynamics during aerobic biodegradation of an alternating mixture of organic compounds was investigated experimentally in a continuous stirred tank bioreactor (CSTB). A mathematical model describing this system was developed and tested using the experimental results. A model microbial cultu
