At first, an expression for its reaction rate was fitted from experimental data available in the literature. Then, a new simple sensitivity-based criterion was used to determine critical operating conditions analyzing temperature sensitivity trajectories. The critical condition of runaway reaction corresponds to a Semenov number (F) equals to 0.684, a heat of reaction parameter (B) equals to 15 and an Arrhenius-type number (?) of 20.spahttps://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/id/publication/issn/0716-8756Batch reactorsSynthesis (chemical)Initial temperaturesOperating conditionParametric sensitivityParametric sensitivity analysisRunaway reactionStable reaction criteriaTemperature sensitivityTrimethyleneSensitivity analysisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article2021-04-16Ojeda, J.C.Gilpavas, E.Dobrosz-Gómez, I.Gómez, M.Á.10.4067/S0718-07642014000400017
