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 difference between enthalpy and internal energy inside its energy balance. Such a model is then compared to a second dynamic PF...
