Abstract
AbstractTube‐wall reactors are gaining importance for highly exothermic and fast chemical reactions because of their simple construction and improved temperature control. A generalized mathematical model of the non‐isothermal annular tube‐wall reactors for simultaneous catalytic reactions with mixed type non‐linear reaction kinetics and volume change is developed. Numerical solutions of two‐dimensional component transfer equations, heat transfer equation and fluid flow equation may be obtained with appropriate boundary conditions using a recently developed orthogonal collocation method for annular geometries. The model has been successfully applied to the tube‐wall reactors for the Fischer‐Tropsch Synthesis. Comparison between model predictions and previous experimental results is good.
