✦ Synopsis

Forced periodic operation of tubular reactors can increase conversion and yield if proper operating conditions and forcing policies are selected. A numerical approach is proposed for computing the effects of periodic input forcing by a shooting algorithm. Such computarional tools permit the assessment of the benefits of forced wriodic ooeration of a soecific reactor svstem and the identification of the ranges of operating conditions where forced periodic &ration is be&ficial. This information provides vaILable insight for planning detailed experimental studies. Determining the influential input variables and bracketing the ranges of the operating conditions for improving reactor performance will reduce significantly the experiments needed for selecting the most favorable reactor operation policies. The application of the numerical algorithm is illustrated by assessing the benefits of forced periodic operation to a CO oxidation reactor model. The results reveal substantial improvement in performance with slow cycling in feed concentration.

## Abslrac -A model, of the adso,rption/desorption type, is used to examine the behavior of a catalytic reaction system during forced cycling of the feed composition. It is shown that this model can predict the occurrence of resonant behavior. This rate enhanment during periodic operation is due t
