Cooling Jacket of CSTR: For Process Fluid

This document summarizes the specifications and calculations for the cooling jacket of a continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR). It provides the dimensions of the jacket, flow rates and properties of the process fluid and cooling water. Calculations determine the heat transfer coefficients and overall heat transfer coefficient to maintain the desired process temperature. The summary is: The document specifies the dimensions and flow rates of the CSTR cooling jacket and process fluid. Calculations determine the heat transfer coefficients of the process fluid and cooling water, as well as the overall heat transfer coefficient to maintain the process temperature. Deviations in cooling water flow could cause the temperature to increase and affect byproduct formation.
