Abstract: One way of approaching the study of nonideal reactors is to consider them, in a first approximation, as if the flow model were the one corresponding to a continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) or a plug flow reactor. However, in real reactors, the nonideal flow model implies a minor conversion, so a method that allows for this conversion loss to be considered must be available. Therefore, a higher level of approximation implies the use of information about the residence time distribution. There is a need to model the real reactor with some type of combination of ideal reactors or introduce new models. In the case of tubular reactors, there are two models that usually represent the flow: the tanks-in-series model and the dispersion model. In one case, the real reactor is modeled as a series of CSTRs of the same size. In the other (dispersion model), an axial dispersion is superimposed on the piston flow.
