The effect of heat and mass dispersion on tubular reactor performance
W. H. Ray,M. Marek,S. Elnashaie +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of heat and mass dispersion on the performance of adiabatic tubular reactors is investigated, and necessary and sufficient conditions for conversion improvement through axial dispersion are given for both the case when PeM = PeH and when PEM ≠ PeH.

Decomposed algorithmic synthesis of reactor-separation-recycle systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a two-level optimization approach where a response surface method (Simplex) is used as the upper coordinating level and the actual structure of the individual subsystems are determined on the lower level.

Quasi-linearization, non-linear boundary value problems and optimization
TL;DR: In this paper, a quasi-linearization technique was used to solve non-linear differential equations of the two-point boundary value type encountered in chemical engineering, which can be used to overcome the boundary value difficulties in the calculus of variation.
