Ct. Liou et Ys. Chien, THE EFFECT OF MICROMIXING ON STEADY-STATE MULTIPLICITY FOR AUTOCATALYTIC REACTIONS IN A NONIDEAL MIXING OF CSTR, Chemical Engineering Science, 50(22), 1995, pp. 3637-3644
The effect of micromixing on steady-state multiplicity is not displaye
d by the universal reaction model (URM) since this URM has considered
any chemical species having the same mixing time constant. The modifie
d universal reaction model(MURM) is derived for overcoming the above l
imitation. The design equations are first derived. Furthermore, the MU
RM is employed for studying the effect of micromixing on the multiplic
ity for autocatalytic, isothermal reactions of the type A + B --> (eta
+ 1)B + product with the overall rate expression being - gamma(a) = k
C(a)(p)C(b)(r) in a CSTR. The effects of micromixing on necessary and
sufficient conditions for multiplicity are presented.
