Concentration Forcing of Isothermal Plug-Flow Reactors for Autocatalytic Reactions
The performance of isothermal plug-flow reactors under feed concentration 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 rate constant k1. The performance of the periodically forced reactor with the autocatalytic reaction is compared with that of the corresponding uncatalysed reaction.
