Chemical Reaction Engineering (CRE) studies the rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions and the design of reactors where they take place. Semibatch reactors can maximize selectivity in liquid phase reactions, as the reactant initially in the reactor is always the limiting reactant. Mole balances, rate laws, stoichiometry, and parameters like initial concentrations and flow rates are required to model reactions in semibatch reactors. Semibatch reactors are modeled using differential equations that relate the change in moles or concentrations of reactants and products over time to the reaction rates based on rate laws and stoichiometry.
