Batch Reactor Optimization

Batch reactors are pre-loaded with reactants and undergo processing steps to produce a final product in a finite time. Batch reactors are typical for smaller or high-value production processes where the reactor is loaded, processed, and product removed from the reactor to prepare for the next batch. Batch reactors are common in chemical and pharmaceutical manufacture, biofuel production, food and beverage industries, and agricultural production.
This batch reactor problem describes the reaction of reactant A that produces intermediate B as the desired product. A second reaction converts B into an undesirable product C. The batch reactor temperature is continuously controlled with a cooling jacket throughout the time window.
