Abstract
Abstract The analysis of a chemical reactor by numerical bifurcation techniques can completely define the multiplicity and stability of its equilibrium states and can give insights into the reactor’s parametric sensitivity and dynamical behavior in the neighborhood of the chosen operating points. In this paper, we will present some of the techniques used and developed in analyzing an autothermal packed bed tubular reactor. Bifurcation diagrams will be presented for the uncontrolled system to assess the effects of the variable parameters (such as feed flowrate, feed temperature, etc.) and for a case where the reactor was stabilized at an open-loop unstable state by feedback control.
