Sažetak	Reactive distillation couples reaction and separation in a single column, where reactants are separated from products continuously while simultaneously undergoing reaction on catalytic trays. Pioneered in the 1990s by Klaus Sundmacher and others, this process intensification technique dramatically reduces capital cost, energy consumption, and environmental impact for suitable reactions. It is now industrially proven for esterification, hydration, and transesterification processes.	The CSTR (Continuous Stirred-Tank Reactor) model describes the behavior of an ideal mixed reactor where fresh feed is continuously added, products are withdrawn, and contents are kept uniform by vigorous stirring. This fundamental model, formalized by Octave Levenspiel in the 1960s, is widely used to design and scale batch and continuous processes. Despite its simplicity, it captures essential dynamics of industrial reactors and is the baseline for process control and optimization.	The PFR (Plug Flow Reactor) model describes the behavior of a tubular reactor in which fluid elements move through as distinct plugs with no axial mixing. Fluid at the inlet is freshly unreacted; as it travels downstream, reactions progress. This idealized model, formalized by Octave Levenspiel alongside CSTR theory, is the opposite extreme: while CSTRs are fully mixed, PFRs have no axial mixing. In practice, PFRs achieve higher conversion than CSTRs for the same residence time and are widely used in the chemical and petroleum industries.	UNIFAC (Universal Functional-group Activity Coefficient) is a predictive model for liquid-phase activity coefficients of multicomponent mixtures. Developed by Fredenslund, Jones, and Prausnitz in 1975, it decomposes molecules into functional groups and uses group interaction parameters to estimate non-ideal behavior. UNIFAC is revolutionary because it can predict phase equilibria for mixtures never experimentally measured, making it invaluable for process design and chemical engineering.
