Continuous flow reactors such as plug flow reactors (PFRs) have been used in the identification of reaction systems (Moore, J. S.; Jensen, K. F. Angew. Chem. 2014, 126, 480−483). It is important to understand the impact of operating conditions, measurement strategies, and kinetic model identification methods on the identification of reaction systems in a PFR. Typically, for kinetic model identification using the simultaneous identification approach, concentrations are measured as a function of residence time under isothermal operating conditions in a PFR. On the other hand, concentrations and temperature are required to be measured as a function of residence time under non-isothermal conditions for kinetic model identification of multiple reaction systems in a PFR. In this work, we extend the incremental method for identification of kinetic and heat transport models using measurements from non-isothermal steady-state PFRs. This work investigates the role of experimental conditions, measurement strategies ...
