Notes:
The problem treating an irreversible, first-order chemical reaction in an isothermal, tubular reactor operating under steady, non-Newtonian, laminar flow is studied. Numerical results for the eigenvalues, eigenfunctions, expansion coefficients and bulk concentration are reported for Ostwald-de Waele and Prandtl-Eyring fluids. Results show that chemical conversion in a tubular reactor may be significantly influenced by the non-Newtonian characteristics of a fluid.
