Application of attainable region theory to batch reactors

Abstract

The application of attainable regions (AR) to batch reactor configurations is presented. In this work, we consider the problem of constructing an equivalent batch structure given an AR generated for a continuous system from a specified feed composition and associated kinetics. The authors show that by the appropriate transformation, results developed from a continuous AR may be used to form a related batch structure, and thus improvement of batch reactor structures is also possible by use of the attainable region.
