Opis

Mathematical modelling of gas-solid catalytic reactors in industry is still limited. By consolidating progress in the understanding of catalytic processes, this book applies fundamental advances to the development of models for design, simulation and optimization of industrial reactors.

Spis treści

Systems theory and principles for developing mathematical models of industrial fixed bed catalytic reactors; chemisorption and catalysis; intrinsic kinetics of gas-solid catalytic reactions; practical relevance of bifurcation, instability and chaos in catalytic reactors; effect of diffusional resistances; the single pellet problem; the overall reactor models; the catalyst deactivation problem; physico-chemical parameters for industrial steam reformers; numerical techniques for the solution of equations arising in the modelling of industrial fixed bed catalytic reactors.
