The paper presents a two dimensional model for a fixed bed catalytic reactor in which a distinction is made between fluid and solid temperatures and partial pressures. The importance of the boundary conditions for the radial heat transfer on predicted axial and radial profiles is illustrated. The pr

Abetmet-A heterogeneous one dimensional model which takes separately into account the heat transfer through the solid and fluid phases is introduced. The response of this model is compared with that of the heterogeneous two-dimensional model, and a very good agreement, especially at mild conditions,
Abstraet--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 concentrat
