Thermal regimes of a counterflow reactor: a gas-liquid system

Abstract

A counterflow reactor model for a system of two phases one of which involves an exothermic bimolecular reaction is considered. At a stationary temperature distribution in the reactor, there are high and low heating regions. For the adiabatic case, maximum heating is only possible at the bottom of the reactor. The maximum stationary temperature in the reactor decreases and shifts toward the top of the reactor as the intensity of heat exchange with the environment increases.
