Multiplicity of conversion in a cascade of imperfectly stirred tank reactors
The multiple steady states of conversion in the model of non-ideal CSTR's in series have been studied for irreversible, homogeneous exothermic reaction of first order. The influences of the parameters p and n and those of some kinetic parameters on the occurrence of multiple conversions for a g...

| Summary: | The multiple steady states of conversion in the model of non-ideal CSTR's in series have been studied for irreversible, homogeneous exothermic reaction of first order. The influences of the parameters
p and
n and those of some kinetic parameters on the occurrence of multiple conversions for a given residence time are presented. The existence of steady-state multiplicity of conversion in each CSTR is shown to be independent of
n and depen largely on the values of
E/RT
0
(activation energy),
b/T
0
(heat of reaction), and
p. For certain parametric values, more than three steady states can exist in such a model. |
