Simulink CSTR Simulation and Control

Exothermic CSTR with predictions for outlet temperature and concentration.

You are now following this Submission

This CSTR model is commonly used in benchmark applications. It involves simple A->B kinetics, exhibits unstable behavior at higher temperatures, solves for temperature and concentration simultaneously, can maintain temperature control by adjusting jacket temperature, and has a few potential disturbance values such as feed concentration.
