M. Chidambaram, CONCENTRATION FORCING OF ISOTHERMAL PLUG-FLOW REACTORS FOR AUTOCATALYTIC REACTIONS, Canadian journal of chemical engineering, 71(6), 1993, pp. 974-976
The performance of isothermal plug-flow reactors under feed concentrat
ion forcing is analysed for improvement in average yield of product B
for a homogeneous autocatalytic reaction, A --> (K1) A1 --> (k2) A2 --
> (K3) B, where A1 or A2 has an activity influence on the reaction rat
e constant k1. The performance of the periodically forced reactor with
the autocatalytic reaction is compared with that of the corresponding
uncatalysed reaction.
