Abstract

A general procedure is proposed for the analysis and design of continuous multistage reactors in those instances for which the reaction rate expression are nonlinear with respect to concentration. Curves relating the appropriate dimensionless input-output variables are developed for second order reaction and both segregated and microscopic mixing, and illustrate the procedure. The difference in average reaction rate for the two mixing situations does not affect the number of independent parameters of the system. The dimensionless variables were chosen to reduce the number of independent parameters to the minimum necessary. The curves thus developed for second order combination reactions have reduced to a single sheet of graph paper the calculations that previously required a set of curves. The method is readily adapted to multistage calculations including combinations of completely mixed reactors and pipeline reactors.
