β¦ Synopsis
The influence of enforced periodic concentration variations on a continuous stirred tank reactor was studied theoretically. The unsteady-state-processing becomes advantageous under certain conditions. This can be shown for an irreversible consecutive-competing reaction. The yield and selectivitv of the intermediate oroduct can exceed the values obtainable at steady-state-processing in the mentioned reactor.

The pi criterion which is useful for examining if the optimal periodic control is proper is briefly introduced in a somewhat generalized form and then it is applied to optimal periodic control problems of CSTR's in isothermal condition. tNI'BODUCl'lON
