✦ Synopsis

The problem of choosing the operating conditions, such as temperature and holding time, in a sequence of stirred tank reactors so as to maximize the profit from the conversion is here solved by a functional equation. This equation, derived by the method of dynamic programming, is very suitable for the repetitive calculations that a modem computing machine can perform. A general algorithm is given both in the case of a cascade of reactors and also when there is a by-passing of the original feed to later reactors.

The optimum design of an adiabatic reactor involves the choice of the size of each bed and the amount of interstage cooling between beds. These decisions can be made in an orderly way by applying the notion of dynamic programming, and in the case of a single reaction allow of a simple graphical pres
