โฆ Synopsis
A dynamic model is developed that allows us to represent the behavior of a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) for the saponi"cation of ethyl acetate with sodium hydroxide. The model is based on the bond graph technique, which lets us represent the molar and energy balances of the system. Various simulations were done using the ENPORT 5.2 program, enabling us to validate the model with data taken directly from the real system. A satisfactory behavior was obtained for the thermal variables involved, but for the concentration, the model tends to deviate even for values at steady state. This is due to the di$culty in estimating the experimental values of the reaction rate constants.

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
The stability characteristics of an aerosol reactor in a continuous stirred tank configuration have been investigated theoretically. Three dimensionless parameters, the surface tension group C, reaction rate group R, and residence time group O,, suffice to determine the dynamic behavior of this syst
