Membrane reactors can be used to overcome the equilibrium conversion limits of conventional reactors. In this study, a plug #ow model has been employed to investigate the performance of a membrane reactor used to carry out the reversible reaction A & B. Reactor design parameters and operating condition are presented that yield conversions exceeding the equilibrium conversion. A formula for the conversion at these conditions is also presented. As an application, the n-butane to isobutane isomerization reaction is considered. A 40% improvement in conversion is found to be possible.

An investigation of the mass and heat transfer equations describing radial and axial profiles for tubular reactors in laminar and plug flow is reported. Reactor conditions evaluated were isothermal, constant wall temperature, and adiabatic. Both diffusion and nondiffusion were considered. The reacti
