Abstract

A reactor of fiour crossflow nomolithic blocks is used to approximate a cocurrent and a countercurrent reactor‐heat excanger. Essentailly isothermal reaction pass profiles are produced by flowing the coolant and reactant streams cocurrent to each other according to the criteria set down in Part I of this paper. A multiplicy of steady states is shown to exist for the autothermal countercurrent mode, but not for the autothermal cocurrent mode, under identical conditions.
