For reactions where the rate varies linearly with catalyst loading, for any performance index such as effectiveness, selectivity, or yield, the optimal active element distribution is a step function, where the number and location of the steps depend upon the specific problem under study. In all cases reported to date in the literature, single-step distributions have been found to be optimal. In this work, an example involving two parallel reactions is presented, where a multiple-step distribution is optimal.

Abstract
For reactions where the rate varies linearly with catalyst loading, for any performance index such as effectiveness, selectivity, or yield, the optimal active element distribution is a step function, where the number and location of the steps depend upon the specific problem under study. In all cases reported to date in the literature, single-step distributions have been found to be optimal. In this work, an example involving two parallel reactions is presented, where a multiple-step distribution is optimal.File in questo prodotto:
