Analysis of Unsteady State Chemical Reactors by Continuation Methods

  • Chapter
Scientific Computing in Chemical Engineering

Abstract

Numerical bifurcation analysis and continuation methods are proposed for the investigation of chemical reactors. An algorithm for the continuation of periodic solutions of large systems is presented. Steady state and periodic continuation are applied to the circulation loop reactor, which makes use of travelling reaction zones for autothermal operation and serves as an example for unsteady state operation of a chemical process.
