Basis for reactor modeling

In considering what to incorporate in models, one needs to keep in mind the long list of factors that can influence overall performance of catalytic fluidized-bed reactors

An unexpected key benefit from the use of microreactors has been the detailed flow information that is available from their construction. To build optimized channel structures detailed models of the devices have been developed. These models offer the potential to use the information as the basis for reactor modeling. The result is that with detailed reactor models and precise composition measurements from on-line analysis the rate expressions for the chemistry can be extracted from the laboratory data. The potenhal of this is significant in that general laboratory data only gives a sense of what is happening whereas now...
