Midterm 1 Notes - Rxns

This document discusses reactor sizing and conversion for chemical reactions. It contains: 1) Equations to calculate the conversion (X) of a limiting reactant and methods to determine which reactant is limiting. 2) Design equations for batch and continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTRs) to calculate conversion over time based on reactant flow rates and volumes. 3) For CSTRs, the exit rate and tank rate of concentration change are equal since concentrations are uniform throughout the reactor.
