Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors (CSTR), multi-component distillation, mass transfer diffusion, and non-isothermal kinetics.

            Governing Formulation: \frac{dC_A}{dt} = \frac{F}{V}(C_{A0} - C_A) - k_0 e^{-E_a/RT} C_A^2

Non-Isothermal CSTR & Thermal Runaway Dynamics

Models a jacketed Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor with 1st-order exothermic reaction A -> B. Balance reactant mass and thermal energy simultaneously to observe ignition, extinction, and multiple steady-state bifurcations.

Equation: V \frac{dC_A}{dt} = F(C_{A0} - C_A) - V k_0 e^{-E_a/RT} C_A, \quad V \rho C_p \frac{dT}{dt} = F \rho C_p(T_0 - T) + (-\Delta H) V r_A - U A (T - T_c)
