Introduction
Objective
This experiment studies two different reactors, a tubular reactor and a continuously stirred tank reactor, in the production of sodium acetate from sodium hydroxide and ethyl acetate. The experiments objective is to analyze the performance of each reactor and to study the effect of feed flow rates [1].
Background
For any reactor, the general mole balance for any component A, can be expressed as below in Equation 1 Equation SEQ Equation * ARABIC 1
