Reactor design, general principles examples

If we wish to allow separation as well as chemical reaction, and almost all industrial designs would fall into this category, then the problem switches from a pure reactor synthesis problem, to a reactor-separator synthesis problem. The CSTR eq.uivale.nce principle of Chapter 4 is an example of the strikingly simple and general results that recently have been achieved for the reactor-separator synthesis problem [8. ...
