Abstract
This paper reports the dynamic behavior of a particular continuous stirred‐tank reactor system, which has been investigated in detail both experimentally and on an analog computer. The two sets of data were taken under comparable conditions to facilitate comparison. The reaction between formaldehyde and ammonia was chosen for study, because of its high heat of reaction and its significant reaction rate at room temperature. Agreement between the experimental data and the computer results was quite good, with most deviations being explainable as arising from the use of an approximate form for the kinetic rate expression.
