The prediction of temperatures has been studied for a tubular flow reactor when heat is generated at a rate which is a linear function of the local temperature. Analytical solutions are presented both for the case where the wall is isothermal and for the case where the exterior surroundings are isothermal and the heat transfer coefficient between the tube wall and the surroundings is constant. This analysis should be helpful for estimating local temperatures and also for predicting the transient response to changes in one of the independent operating variables.
