Abstract
IN this paper we shall consider the optimal control of a chemical reactor which consists of two concentric tubes, the inner of which contains the reactants and the space between contains the coolant. The directions of flow of the reactants and coolant will be assumed here to be parallel (the co-current model) since the rate of reaction has its maximum value at the inlet of the reactor and so the maximum rate of heat transfer should also occur at the inlet.
