CSTR Series

The document outlines a lesson on calculating reaction conversion in two continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTRs) in series using Aspen HYSYS V8.0. It includes objectives, prerequisites, and detailed procedures for both analytical and simulation solutions for isomerization reactions of 2-butene. The conclusion highlights that multiple CSTRs in series yield higher conversion than a single CSTR with equivalent total residence time.
