Simultaneous Mass, Heat and Momentum Transfer in an Adiabatic Packed Bed Reactor

Abstract

Process modeling or computer simulation is one of the most important studies which gives the engineer a whole description about certain processes including all the mathematical relationships that are relating  the process variables.

   Transport phenomena on fixed bed reactor was  studied because of their importance and their effects on the catalyst performance in all chemical reactions.

   Simultaneous mass , heat and pressure drop were studied and all the process variables such as temperature, rate of reaction , pressure along  length of the reactor were calculated and the data obtained from the mathematical package showed  that with the increase  the reaction temperature the process production , rate of reaction and pressure drop will increase.
