Chapter 3. Mathematical Modelling Principles: Prof. TV Ojumu (PHD) E-Mail

This chapter discusses mathematical modeling principles. It describes a continuous stirred tank reactor example where the tank temperature T responds to a step change in inlet temperature T0. It shows that the dynamic response of T(t) follows first-order behavior, with the gain and time constant relating to process parameters like flow rate and volume. It also recommends selecting a temperature sensor with accuracy of ±1K or better for measuring a temperature of 200K in this system.

Question 2
3.2 Stirred tank mixer
a. Determine the dynamic response of the tank temperature, T, to a step change in
the inlet temperature, T0, for the continuous stirred tank shown in the Figure 3.2
below.
b. Sketch the dynamic behavior of T(t).
c. Relate the gain and time constants to the process parameters.
