Batch reactor#
The batch reactor is an idealized 0-D transient closed reactor model in which the gas inside the reactor is assumed to be homogeneous. When the pressure of the batch reactor is constrained, the reactor volume would vary to conserve the total gas mass. Likewise, the reactor pressure might change when the reactor volume is “given”. The gas temperature can be “given” by piecewise linear profile data or solved by the energy equation.
The examples consist of projects that utilize the batch reactor model to perform simulations of various complexities, from tracking the evolution of the mixture properties to the A-factor sensitivity analysis.
