Dynamic Simulation of an Isothermal HDT Bench-Scale Reactor

1 Dynamic Simulation of an Isothermal HDT Bench-Scale Reactor 

Simulation results of the bench-scale reactor are based on the experimental operating conditions and parameters given earlier. The kinetic parameters estimated earlier by minimizing the differences between model predictions and experimental results were used to simulate the behavior of the bench-scale TBR.
