The nonisothermal non-Newtonian chemical reactions in a tubular reactor are investigated. The non-Newtonian fluid is assumed to be characterized by the Ostwald-de Waele power-law model, which represents the majority of laminar flow of food products and many polymer melts and solutions. The temperatu

Abstract
The viscosity of sulfonated melamine‐formaldehyde resins prepared in batch receptors of different sizes is shown to be a function of the reaction time, temperature, and pH. A formula relating these variables to viscosity buildup is presented. It shows that the pH is more influential than the temperature in increasing viscosity. The reactor mixing patterns are also shown to have a profound influence on resin viscosity. The agitator geometry, and not its tip speed, was found to affect considerably the viscosity buildup. Implications of these observations on the scale‐up of condensation reactions are discussed.
