Abstract

Moving reaction zones are obtained by the solution of the interdependent and unsteady state set of the energy and material balance differential equations for a fixed bed catalytic reactor with a fast exothermic reaction. Parametric studies concerning the influence of gas velocity and reactant concentration, of heat and mass diffusivities, of heat radiation, of the kinetic parameters and of the particle diameter were performed. A comparison with experimental work turned out to be very satisfactory.
