Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Modeling chemistry and flow in catalytic fixed-bed reactors with detailed geometry(2018); In this work, three-dimensional CFD models were developed and applied to simulate catalytic fixed bed reactors with different types of packing configuration and reactions. A spatially resolved profile measurement technique was applied in this work to critically validate the simulation results, and to calibrate parameters required in the model. This work demonstrates that detailed reactor modeling and profile measurements are useful tools for achieving an in-depth understanding of the interactions between flow, heat and mass transfer and catalytic reactions in fixed bed reactors. Furthermore, with the comprehensive knowledge gained from both methods, a knowledge-based reactor optimization approach can be put forward.Publicationtype: Doctoral Thesis611 4468
