This Demonstration analyzes the control of thermal runaway of an exothermic chemical reaction taking place in the inner tube of a double pipe plug flow reactor cooled by a cocurrent endothermic reaction that takes place in the annulus.

The analysis requires the simultaneous solution of four coupled first-order ordinary differential equations to describe conversion and temperature profiles within the inner pipe and in the annular region; details are shown in [1].
