Análisis de la sensibilidad paramétrica del proceso de producción de ciclo-trimetileno-triamina

Analyses of temperature, conversion, and their sensitivity with respect to the initial temperature were investigated by parametric sensitivity analysis using a dimensionless batch reactor model for the cyclotrimethylene- triamine synthesis. At first, an expression for its reaction rate was fitted from experimental data available in the literature. Then, a new simple sensitivity-based criterion was used to determine critical operating conditions analyzing temperature sensitivity trajectories. The critical condition of runaway reaction corresponds to a Semenov number (F) equals to 0.684, a heat of reaction parameter (B) equals to 15 and an Arrhenius-type number (?) of 20
