  Chemical reactor Summary
While the reactor is in a transient state the model equation must be derived from the differential mass and energy balances.
In these cases, the sizes of the reactors may be varied in order to minimize the total capital investment required to implement the process.
In this type of reactor, the reaction rate is a gradient; at the inlet to the PFR the rate is very high, but as the concentrations of the reagents decrease and the concentration of the product(s) increases the reaction rate slows.

 Stress corrosion cracking of chemical reactor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
The catastrophic explosion at Flixborough in June 1974 has been traced to the failure of a bypass assembly introduced into a train of six cyclohexane oxidation reactors after one of the reactors was removed owing to the development of a leak.
The leaking reactor, like the others, was constructed of 12.3 mm mild steel plate with 3 mm stainless steel bonded to it, and it developed a vertical crack in the mild steel outer layer of the reactor from which cyclohexane leaked leading to the removal of the reactor.
One of the factors contributing to the crack was stress corrosion, resulting from the presence of nitrates that had contaminated river water being used to cool a leaking flange.
