Abstract

A theoretical analysis of the reactant concentration profile along a given number of CSTR's in series for ping‐pong type reactions following Michaelis‐Menten kinetics (with equal initial concentrations for both substrates) has been developed. Minimising the total holding time was taken as the intermediate objective function whereas minimising the total capital investment was assumed to be the main objective function.
