Algorithms nonlinear dynamic data

Once the reactor equations and assumptions have been established, and HDS, HDN, HDA, and HGO reaction rate expressions have been defined, the adsorption coefficient, equilibrium constants, reaction orders, frequency factors, and activation energies can be determined from the experimental data obtained at steady-state conditions by optimization with the Levenberg-Marquardt nonlinear regression algorithm. Using the values of parameters obtained from steady-state experiments, the dynamic TBR model was employed to redetermine the kinetic parameters that were considered as definitive values. The temperature dependencies of all the intrinsic reaction rate constants have been described by the Arrhenius law, which are shown in Table 7.4.
