Reactors

This simulation is meant to demonstrate aspects of chemical reaction engineering. A summary of this system and its governing equations may be found below the simulation. Mouse-over each input to see a description of that option or variable. You may click on the units to change to units you prefer. Click on a variable symbol or double click in a textbox to attempt to determine an unknown.
