Attainable Region Theory

Attainable Region (AR) theory is a branch of chemical reaction engineering that incorporates elements of convex geometry to understand how best chemical reactor networks—termed reactor structures—should be designed.

AR theory is unique in that it is geometric in nature. It is particularly useful for understanding chemical reactions involving many competing reactions and species, called complex reactions.
