Abstract Maximum temperature limitations are usually encountered in exothermic catalytic reaction systems due to catalyst deactivation. Therefore, the peak temperature in a cooled tubular reactor can be constrained to some maximum limit. The peak temperature is a function of many design and operating variables such as reactor volume and heat-transfer area (number of tubes, tube diameter and tube length), coolant temperature, inlet reactant concentration, per-pass conversion and reactant feed distribution. These variables affect the design of both the reactor and the separation section of the plant. This paper explores the impact of this peak temperature limitation on the economic design of the entire process. The numerical example used is the production of cumene from benzene and propylene. Results show that costs increase as the peak temperature limitation decreases. Use of two cooled reactors in series with the limiting reactant split between the reactors is more economical than a single reactor.

For diesel particulate filter (DPF) drop-to-idle uncontrolled regeneration, a regular regeneration is initiated following a vehicle stop while the engine switches to idle. The increase in oxygen concentration and the decrease in exhaust flow rate can result in a sharp exotherm in the filter and high temperature to damage the substrate. In this paper, control solutions for the idle thermal protection of the filter was proposed and validated experimentally. At high idle speed of 2200rpm, increasing exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) combined with intake throttling was a practical way to reduce available oxygen content to control the exothermal reaction rate. A much lower peak temperature was obtained for safe DPF regeneration during idle. The research would provide based information for optimizing the regeneration management strategy in order to avoid DPF failure in real world operation.

Martin Geiger & Antoine Pécoud (eds.), Disciplining the Transnational Mobility of People, Palgrave Macmillan, 2013, 271 pp., (ISBN 978-1-137-26306-3).In the last decades a very diverse range of initiatives have been undertaken in order to intensify and diversify the ways human mobility is managed and restricted. This trend towards a ‘diversification’ of the migration control strategies stems from the increased awareness by the nation-states of the profoundly controversial nature of the migration management enterprise because of its political, economic, social and moral implications.
