Journal ArticleDOI
General mass action kinetics
TL;DR: The principal result of this work shows that there exists a simply identifiable class of kinetic expressions, including the familiar detailed balanced kinetics as a proper subclass, which ensure consistency with the extended thermodynamic conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Necessary and sufficient conditions for complex balancing in chemical kinetics
TL;DR: In this article, a necessary and sufficient condition for complex balancing in mass-action systems is derived, which excludes the occurence of equilibria in certain composition regions of general kinetic systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison between two sufficient conditions for improvement of an optimal steady-state process by periodic operation
J. E. Bailey,F. J. M. Horn +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, two sufficient conditions for improvement of performance by cycling beyond that obtained at the best steady state are compared, and it is shown that Condition I, which is derived from relaxed steady-state analysis, is always stronger than Condition II, which results from the maximum principle.
Journal ArticleDOI
An application of the theorem of relaxed control to the problem of increasing catalyst selectivity
F. J. M. Horn,J. E. Bailey +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the approximation theorem of relaxed control has an interesting application in the field of heterogeneous catalysis, and the selectivity of a catalyst can be increased significantly by operating the catalyst dynamically rather than in the steady state.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of the adjoint variables in the development of improvement criteria for chemical reactors
F. J. M. Horn,M. J. Tsai +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the adjoint variables of optimization theory are used in order to investigate the effects of global and local mixing in a complex reaction system with competing side reactions of different orders.
