Analysis of the Existence of Equilibrium Profiles in Nonisothermal Axial Dispersion Tubular Reactors

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper deals with the analysis of the nonisothermal axial dispersion tubular reactor. The existence of equilibrium profiles is investigated. In particular, for equal Peclet numbers, it is shown that one or three equilibria can be exhibited, depending on the parameters of the system, especially on the diffusion coefficient. In addition, different and close Peclet numbers are also considered. In these cases, it is also shown that the reactor has one or three equilibrium profiles. Some numerical simulations support the theoretical results.
