Abstract

Knowing the adiabatic temperature rise can improve safety in chemical processes in case of cooling failure. This study shows firstly how the temperature rise can be calculated online according to a mass and energy balance and secondly that the required accuracy of the desired values can only be attained by having additional temperature sensors.
