• Resumen

  • This thesis is divided in three different parts in which an extensive study of reactors is done. It is complemented with three appendices describing some tools and results used .

    The first part is devoted to the description of the reactors we are interested in. We formulate the models of the main STR reactors. Then, we describe the general convection-diffusion-reaction model. Finally, the FBR model is also described.

    In second part an extensive study is done for the convection-diffusion-reaction model beginning with the mathematical analysis for the n-dimensional reactor and then numerical solution of the reactor models is designed.

    The last part deals with the identification of the best kinetic model from a list of proposed functional forms, and also of the values of its corresponding parameters by means of an optimization process. For this purpose, we use a combination of an incremental and an integral method.
