| Abstract | Much of the previous research on exothermic reactor operation has been based on the classic two-state continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) model. An implicit assumption of this model is that the cooling jacket temperature dynamics are negligible. In this case the cooling jacket temperature is the manipulated input (instead of the cooling jacket flowrate) for feedback control of reactor temperature. The influence of design parameters on the multiplicity behavior of a three-state CSTR model (incorporating cooling jacket dynamics) is considered in this paper. We use elementary catastrophe theory to study the effect of process parameters on the steady-state multiplicity of the three-state CSTR model. This multiplicity analysis is particularly relevant for control purposes because the cooling jacket flowrate (the manipulated input for the three-state CSTR model) is the primary bifurcation parameter. A key point is that this multiplicity analysis is used to guide improvements in process op... |
