due to high applicability of the fixed bed catalytic naphtha reforming reactors, hydrodynamic features of this kind of reactors with radial flow pattern are improved in this work by utilising computational fluid dynamics technique. effects of catalytic bed porosity, inlet flow rate and flow regime through the bed on the flow distribution within the system are investigated.it is found that the f...

The investigation of the characterization Adansonia digitata biomass from pyrolysis in a fixed-bed tubular carbon steel reactor at temperatures 400℃ to 700℃. Firstly, proximate, ultimate, and heating value analyses raw were obtained prior experimental runs via fast process; thereafter, quality bio-oil biochar yields for bioenergy industrial applications was investigated using following analyses...

This study contributes to the improvement of low-cost biotechnology for wastewater treatment in constructed wetlands (CWs). Constructed wetlands are energy efficient engineered systems that mimic the treatment processes of natural wetlands, removing polluting organic matter, nutrients, and pathogens from water. The aim of this study was to investigate the advisability of the inoculation of hori...

A mathematical model for the startup period of a fixed-bed reactor with first-order reaction kinetics, axial dispersion and film mass transfer resistance was formulated and solved analytically using Laplace transform. The solution can be used to correlate or predict the reactant concentration profiles in the effluent of the reactor. The effects of both the Peclet number and Biot number on the e...

This work investigated the steady state and dynamic simulation of a fixed bed industrial naphtha reforming reactors. The performance of the reactor was investigated using a heterogeneous model. For process simulation, the differential equations are solved using the 4th order Runge-Kutta method .The models were validated against measured process data of an existing naphtha reforming plant. The r...

this study investigated the effect, on reactor performance and biomass retention inside the bed, of the material used to make the supports of anaerobic fixed-bed reactors. three inert supports of similar shape but made of three different materials polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, high-density polyethylene were manufactured and used. all three supports had the same specific surface area but di...

Modifying of HY/Zeolite is by loading nickel for applying catalyst in thermal catalytic cracking furfural extract-40 from the lubricating base oil unit. The study involved characterizing HY-zeolite and promoted with X-ray diffraction analysis, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), BET (Brunauer, Emmett, Teller), infrared ray analyses FTIR. tubular reactor a fixed bed two type catalysts; HY/zeolit...

This work includes a modelling and simulation of dimethyl ether direct synthesis in a tubular type reactor with hybrid catalysts bed. The results of simulation show that the loading ratio of methanol synthesis and dehydration catalysts has a important influence on product yield.
