Jacketed CSTR Model Summary
The Jacketed CSTR example illustrates how MODEL.LA shifts the focus of modeling from equation selection and manipulation to the deeper task of articulating the physical and chemical phenomena which characterize the behavior of a process.
Examples such as these enforce the understanding of abstract concepts taught in the classroom. By making students active participants in model development, they become aware of the assumptions, limitations, and applicability of such models. This is much deeper than the superficial understanding they gain as passive onlookers when a model is derived on a blackboard or in a textbook.
