Abstract

The stability characteristics of an aerosol reactor in CSTR configuration have been investigated theoretically. Three dimensionless parameters, the surface tension group, reaction rate group, and residence time group suffice to determine the dynamic behavior of this system. The stability of the unique steady state was investigated using linear analysis. Numerical integration of the full nonlinear equations shows that the dynamical behavior was in accord with the predictions of the linear stability theory.
