Resolved-particle Fixed Bed Cfd with Microkinetics and Anisotropic Diffusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microkinetics models for the partial oxidations of ethylene and of methanol on silver catalysts are coupled with computational fluid dynamics and implemented in a randomly packed bed of 120 spherical particles. The model includes interactions of the elementary reaction steps and transport inside the particles and the flow field. The effects of using the full implementation of the microkinetics and a flux dependent anisotropic diffusivity on the model are presented and compared to simplified approaches.
