A Non-Adiabatic Model for Jacketed Agitated Batch Reactors Experiencing Thermal Losses

Accurate modeling of process temperatures within jacketed batch reactors has the potential to mitigate risk thermal runaways and enhance control. A non-adiabatic heat-transfer model is derived for investigation heat transfer in laboratory pilot-scale 0.5–40 L. By accounting removed from by a total condenser losses through lid, able predict temperature profiles uncertainty limits experimental measurements. Heat outer jacket wall had negligible impact on evolution but may contribute significantly utility costs. Jacket duty measurements implied greater accumulation reactor vessel than anticipated, equivalent ∼60% that fluid at 40 L scale. This raises coefficients be systematically under-estimated adiabatic models, particularly pilot
