Preferred flow patterns in nonisothermal membrane reactors. The discussions so far focus on flow patterns in an isothermal membrane reactor. In many situations, however, the membrane reactor is not operated under a uniform temperature. The choice between a plug flow (PFMR) and a perfect mixing membrane reactor (PMMR) depends on a number of factors. First of all, it depends on whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic. 

Up to now we have focused on the steady-state operation of nonisothermal reactors. In this section the unsteady-state energy balance wtU be developed and then applied to CSTRs, plug-flow reactors, and well-mixed batch and semibateh reactors.
