Estimation and analysis of the influence of interfacial gradients in a fixed bed adiabatic catalytic reactor

The influence of the interfacial gradients on the performance of a fixed bed adiabatic catalytic reactor cannot generally be determined only at the reactor inlet conditions because the magnitude of the gradients vary along the reactor. A very simple method for the estimation from inlet conditions of...

description The influence of the interfacial gradients on the performance of a fixed bed adiabatic catalytic reactor cannot generally be determined only at the reactor inlet conditions because the magnitude of the gradients vary along the reactor. A very simple method for the estimation from inlet conditions of the maximum interfacial temperature gradient is developed. A very good agreement with values obtained from the numerical solution of the balance equations is found. An analysis of the relative importance of the interfacial concentration and temperature gradients is also carried out.
