CSTR Dynamic Simulation Guide

The document describes dynamic simulations of a series of continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTRs). It presents the system configuration of multiple CSTRs in series with constant volumes. Steady-state and dynamic simulations are performed, including an open-loop dynamic simulation where the inlet concentration is increased and the concentrations over time are plotted. A closed-loop control simulation is also presented, where the inlet flow rate is controlled to maintain a set outlet concentration. Results of the simulations are shown in graphs of concentration versus time for each CSTR.

3 Dynamic simulation
of a series of CSTRs
Flavio Manenti, CMIC Giulio Natta Dept.

Series of CSTRs
F0 , cA0

V1, k1

F1, cA1

V2 , k2

F2 , cA2

V3 , k3

The system:

F3 , cA3

Constant holdups
Irreversible reaction AB
Initial conditions: cA0 = 0.8; cA1 = 0.4; cA2 = 0.2; cA3 = 0.1 [kmol/m3]
k = Aexp(-E/RT) = 0.5 (at the operating conditions)
F0 = 1 [m3/s]; V1 = V2 = V3 = V = 2 [m3] (A = 2 [m2])

Series of CSTRs
Task 1:

Steady-state simulation with the assigned conditions

Task 2:

Dynamic simulation with:


cA0 = 1.8 [kmol/m3]
at i = 6 [s]
(run 20 [s])

Additional tasks:

Task 3:

System with variable holdups

Task 4:

Closed-loop simulation
Composition controller cA3_set = 0.1 [kmol/m3]
MV is the F0
