Abstract
The dynamic behavior of dispersion-type tubular reactors, referred to as finite and truncated models depending on the boundary condition representations at the reactor exit, was investigated through numerical simulations. It was found that the dynamic behavior of the two models can be identical or different depending on how thePéclet number changes.
