Rational determination of dynamic characteristics of fluid-flow reactors

A new model for water treatment and waste disposal reactors was developed. The startpoint to this model is a "triangular" approximation in the shape of the real flow-through curve. This approximation is defined by some characteristic points of time, which are strongly related to the characteristic velocities of wastewater. Combination of this simplified function with the kinetic equation of the reaction of the 1st order yields the sequence of the governing equations. Three practical examples show that the proposed "rational" model gives much better results than the traditional plug-flow model.
