Mathematical formulation<br />

• Reactors are fundamentally distributed parameter<br />

systems ; Concentration, temperature and velocity<br />

vary with spatial coordinate.<br />

• The dimensionality (and hence complexity) can be<br />

reduced by using average parameter values over<br />

specified model dimensions. The result is referred<br />

to as a lumped parameter model.<br />

• Lumped parameter models are approximations.<br />
