The steady state conditions for the CSTR and other process using the
parameters of the maine fuction. Suppose a switch is made to a new feed
stream for reactant A with a concentration of 1.1 mol/ft3 and a
temperature of 115oF at a flow rate of 18 gal/min. Determine the effluent
stream concentrations for reactant A and product B as well as the CSTR
temperature as a function of time. Tabulate and plot the results.
The table should have a maximum of 15 to 20 rows of data at regular
intervals showing the solution from the initial time to the new
steady-state

% Initial Conditions

cbo = 2.446;
To = 150;
% Solving for the differential equations
