✦ Synopsis

Ah&act-

The effects of dispersion on the yields of consecutive reactions have been studied for variable density and adiabatic situations. Quasilinearization is used to solve the nonlinear boundary value problems. Variable density yields ditfer considerably from those of constant density at equivalent dimensionless space times and reaction velocity ratio. The difference in numerical solutions between constant DL and constant DJv cases is small. The yield loss due to mixing, as measured by the deviation from the ideal plug flow situation, for both constant and variable density cases, is approximately the same order of magnitude. For constant density reactions, the intermediate in competitive consecutive reactions follows a characteristic yield that has similar properties to that for a simple series reaction.
