چکیده
This paper deals with the analysis of two tubular reactor models, the non isothermal tubular reactor model and a biochemical reactor model. It is shown in particular that multiple equilibrium profiles can be exhibited if the diffusion coefficients are large enough.

Equilibrium Profiles of Tubular Reactor Nonlinear Models
The multiplicity of the equilibrium profiles is analyzed for axial dispersion nonisothermal tubular reactors described by Arrhenius type nonlinear models. It is reported that there is at least one steady state among the physically feasible states for such models. Moreover physically meaninful conditions which ensure the multiplicity of equilibrium profiles are given.
متن کاملA Tubular Reactor of Axial Dispersion and Micromixing
In this paper, we extend the MURM (Modified Universe Reaction Model) of a CSTR to a tubular reactor with axial dispersion. Furthermore, we use this mixing model to study the effort of the micromixing on the steady state multiplicity for an autocatalytical reaction of tubular reactor.
متن کاملTubular Reactor Stability Revisited without the Danckwerts Boundary Conditions
Tubular reactor stability is reconsidered for a wide variety of situations where there is dispersion outside the reactor.A complete set of boundary conditions are proposed from which the Danckwetts boundary conditions arise as a special case. While the multiplicity and stability characteristics are found to be the same as those found with Danckwerts boundary conditions (no dispersion outside th...
متن کاملTransients in Adiabatic Tubular Reactors. Axial Dispersion Models with Well-mixed Appended Sections
Using boundary conditions more general than those due to Danckwerts, the authors recently showed that significant variations may be encountered in the global stability characteristics of an axially dispersed adiabatic tubular reactor. The numerical results presented in this communication demonstrate that for a fixed initial state of the reactor, steady states very different from those predicted...
متن کاملSteady State Operability Characteristics of an Adiabatic Fixed-Bed Reactor for Methanol Dehydration
Operability analysis as one of the most important bridges between process design and process control helps the process designer to investigate the control issues quite early in the design stage. Recently, Vinson and Georgakis suggested a steady state geometrical operability index as a quantitative measure for assessment of process operability. In...
