This document discusses semibatch and batch reactors. It defines semibatch reactors as reactors where one or more reactants are added continuously while others are added initially. For semibatch reactors, mole balances are written for each species to determine accumulation over time. The rate law is also determined, which relates reaction rate to concentrations. Parameters like stoichiometric coefficients and rate constants are identified. Batch reactors are used to experimentally determine the rate law by measuring concentration changes over time and fitting them to possible rate law expressions like zero, first, and second order.
