The document describes a perfectly mixed continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) system with an outlet weir. Liquid flows over the weir at a rate proportional to the 1.5 power of the weir height. Mass and component balances are derived to obtain two equations with two unknowns - the weir height and reactant concentration - that describe the system.

3.3. Perfectly mixed, isothermal CSTR has an outlet weir.
The flow rate over the weir
proportional to the height of liquid over the weir, howto the 1.5 power. The weir height is hw. The cross-sectional area of the tank is A. Assume constant density. A first-order reaction takes place in the tank:
