In the product separation units of ethylene cracking plants the ethylene stream contains acetylene. This acetylene has to be removed, because it hampers the ethylene polymerization. Usually this is done in a catalytic adiabatic fixed bed reactor, where the acetylene is selectively hydrogenated with

For rapid reactions the differences in local coefficients of heat and mass transfer around the surface of a catalyst particle lead to a distribution of surface temperatures and an asymmetric internal profile. The nature of these distributions and their changes with flow rate were predicted for the h
