A compact and flexible method for modeling nonideal flow in tubular reactors is presented. The procedure involves dividing
the reactor into discrete elements, each being an ideal reactor, but with characteristics of each assigned stochastically.
Flow between cells is also shown as a stochastic behavior. The calculation steps are given in case of a fixed-bed reactor
with unidirectional flow.
