dc.description.abstract	<p> The optimal temperature policy with time is sought which maximizes the total amount of reaction in a fixed time in a tubular reactor with uniform temperature and decaying catalyst for a single reversible reaction.</p> <p> A numerical procedure together with theoretical developments is used to solve this problem for two kinetic models. The problem is treated in the format of Pontryagin's Maximum Principle.</p> <p> Computer listings are given in the Appendix for the following cases A) Optimal policy for irreversible reactions 8) Optimal policy for isothermal irreversible reactions C) Optimal policy for reversible reactions.</p>	en_US
