Lecture 52 - Seg 1, Chapter 8, Ignition and Extinction in CSTR - Tutorial: Example 8-9C

This tutorial is part of “Chemical Reactor Design” course and presents a case where ignition and extinction could occur in a CSTR used for the production of propylene glycol. The tutorial illustrates how to calculate feed/ambient ignition and extinction temperatures, through the use of heat generated and heat removed terms in the combined energy and material balance, as explained in chapter 8 “Steady-State Nonisothermal Reactor Design” of the textbook “Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering”, 4th ed., by H. Scott Fogler.
