Abstract
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.
