Notes:
This paper discusses the effects of imperfect mixing on the stability of autorefrigerated chemical reactors. Mixing is shown to strongly influence stability in these evaporatively-cooled systems. A modified van Heerdensteady state stability analysis is presented. Computer simulation of a typical system illustrates the occurrence ofrunaways and local hot spots. Both continuous stirred tank reactors and batch reactors are considered.
