Theoretical axial mass distributions

Determined from theoretical axial mass distributions at a one-third stagger and a one-half stagger (overlap indicated by domain number), and for a hinged model in the presence or absence of N-linked glycosylation (N-gly) and associated MAGP-1. 

In this Section so far, ADM is used to solve theoretical generalized models in the forms of ordinary differential equations). For diffusion-convection problems, the distributions along the axial direction of the packed bed electrode were neglected in certain cases, and mass transfer in the three dimensional electrodes were characterized by an average coefficient kh... 

Due to the viscosity of the fluid, a parabolic velocity front exists which is flattened in the case of large diameter tubes. The cut is not sharp therefore since the upward force on the particle depends upon its axial position in the tube. Roller [11] showed that the effect of the uneven cut is the removal of some coarse above the theoretical cut-point, while leaving behind some of the fines. Thus, while the separate fractions are not accurately sized, the final mass fraction is often reasonably close to the correct value. This was confirmed by Stairmand [12] who pointed out that the method was not applicable to bimodal distributions. 

Dynamic analysis of a trickle bed reactor is carried out with a soluble tracer. The impulse response of the tracer is given at the inlet of the column to the gas phase and the tracer concentration distributions are obtained at the effluent both from the gas phase and the liquid phase simultaneously. The overall rate process consists the rates of mass transfer between the phases, the rate of diffusion through the catalyst pores and the rate of adsorption on the solid surface. The theoretical expressions of the zero reduced and first absolute moments which are obtained for plug flow model are compared with the expressions obtained for two different liquid phase hydrodynamic models such as cross flow model and axially dispersed plug flow model. The effect of liquid phase hydrodynamic model parameters on the estimation of intraparticle and interphase transport rates by moment analysis technique are discussed.
