Abstract
Recently developed stochastic model of a one-dimensional flow-through chemical reactor is extended in this paper also to the non-isothermal case. The model enables the evaluation of concentration and temperature profiles along the reactor. The results are compared with the commonly used one-dimensional dispersion model with Danckwerts' boundary conditions. The stochastic model also enables to evaluate a value of the segregation index.
Keywords: Non-isothermal flow reactor; Stochastic model; Segregation index.
