Suppose a batch reactor such as the one in Fig. 22.12 has a gas ingredient added to the liquid feed. As long as the reaction is proceeding normally, the gas is absorbed in the liquid (where it reacts), keeping the pressure low.
However, if the reaction slows or the gas feed is greater than can be absorbed, the pressure will start to rise. The pressure rise can be compensated by an increase in liquid feed, but this may cause the cooling capacity to be exceeded. Describe a solution to this problem using overrides (see Chapter 16).
