Optimization Of A Chemical Reaction Train, Bahar Sansar
Optimization Of A Chemical Reaction Train, Bahar Sansar
Undergraduate Journal of Mathematical Modeling: One + Two
This project consists of the optimization of a chemical reactor train. The reactor considered here is the continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR), one of the reactor models used in engineering. Given the design equation for the CSTR and the cost function for a reactor, the following values are determined; the optimum number of reactors in the reaction train, the volume of each reactor and the total cost.
