This document discusses the design of chemical reactors, including batch and continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTR). It covers key concepts like space time, space velocity, and accumulation equations for CSTR design. Examples are provided for solving first and second order reaction systems using a graphical approach, including determining rate constants from concentration-rate graphs and applying variable volume systems.
