The usual graphical CSTR design methods are not adequate for the case of complex reactions involving competing or consecutive steps; therefore graphical design method based on the representation of batch data on a triangular diagram is given and illustrated by several examples. This method does not require a complete analysis of the kinetics of the reaction. Since material balances are easily represented on concentration spaces, the method is especially useful when the design includes recycling, or feed additions along reactor chain.
