Dynamic Modelling and Simulation of Non Isothermal Reactors

Reactors that operate in industrial plants are non-isothermal and thus, complex dynamic nature is expected. In order to design controllers with improved control performance, there is a need to study the dynamic behaviour of non-isothermal reactors. Dynamic modelling through mathematical modelling...
