🧪 Engineering Chemical Engineering Simulation
Interactive continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) simulator: adjust feed flow rate, feed temperature, feed concentration and coolant temperature to explore how an exothermic reaction's mass and energy balance drives conversion, reactor temperature, and multiple steady states (ignition/extinction).
This simulation illustrates core concepts in chemical engineering: reaction kinetics coupled to fluid flow through a continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR). Users manipulate feed flow rate, feed temperature, feed concentration and cooling-jacket temperature and watch the reactor's coupled mass and energy balance respond in real time — including the classic multiple-steady-state behaviour (ignition and extinction) of exothermic reactors.
This simulation illustrates core concepts in chemical engineering, such as reaction kinetics and fluid flow. Users can manipulate variables to observe the effects on chemical processes.
