  OPTIMAL DESIGN OF A CHEMICAL REACTOR WITH FAST AND SLOW REACTIONS
 
 
Title: OPTIMAL DESIGN OF A CHEMICAL REACTOR WITH FAST AND SLOW REACTIONS
Author: Kao, Y. K.
Bankoff, S. G.
Appeared in: Chemical engineering communications
Paging: Volume 1 (1974) nr. 3 pages 141-153
Year: 1974
Contents: Singular perturbation methods, developed originally by Levin and Levinson (1954) and Vasil'eva (1963), can be viewed as an alternative technique for decomposition of large-scale systems with widely-varying time constants. An example is a chemical reactor in which a multiplicity of fast and slow chemical reactions simultaneously occur. A lower-order model frequently adopted to simplify the calculations, may not be completely adequate, and a singular perturbation attack offers an efficient correction procedure. It is found that the optimal design is quite sensitive to small changes in some of the feed components, but not to others.
