✦ Synopsis

In this paper the mathematical techniques necessary for the determination of the optimum temperatures profile in a tubular reactor to insure maximum yields or minimum contact times are developed, and applications arc made to reversible and consecutive reaction * The authors are indebted to K. C. DENBIOH, who introduced them to these problems while he was a Visiting Professor in the Chemical Engineering Department at the University of Minnesota in 195844.

In tubular reactors (or in stirred reactors in series) it is possible to have the conditions vary along the tube. In this way better results can often be obtained. The effect of a pressure gradient is of interest in equilibrium gas reactions where the number of moles increases (e.g. &hydrogenation r

By considering the well known problem of determining optimum temperature profiles for the successive first order reactions 1 B AiBiC carried out in a tubular reactor it is shown that the application of Pontryagin's Maximum Principle is not straightforward, even in a case as simple as this. In partic
