Abstract
In many chemical processes, particularly those related to the petroleum industry, the number of reacting species is very large. It is often expedient to lump all the species into a few classes for practical purposes. This paper presents a theoretical study on the exact lumping of a mono- or/and bimolecular reaction system. One can obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions under which the kinetics of the lumped classes can be exactly described by a complex first- or/and second-order reaction scheme. Many implications of these lumpability conditions are investigated.
