Enthalpy as Internal Energy in Plug Flow Reactor Models: a Long-Lasting Assumption Defeated and its Effects on Models Predictions in Dynamic Regime
In this paper, a general dynamic model of a pseudo-homogeneous catalytic plug flow reactor (PFR) is developed, which does not apply the traditional assumption of negligible Colouring Kit difference between enthalpy and internal energy inside its energy balance.Such a model is then compared to a second dynamic PFR model, whose energy conservation eq
