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

The performance of different two-dimensional models of fixed bed catalytic reactors is analyzed for different situations. The deviation of the response of the simplified models with respect to the heterogeneous one is explained in terms of the operative conditions and the value of dimensionless grou
A mathematical model for the description of the non-steady state process of decoking of a fixed bed catalytic reactor is presented. The relevant dimensionless groups are identified and their influence on the process discussed. Appropriate relationships are given for the estimation of the maximum tem
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,
The issue of radial heat transport in fixed beds is discussed and discrepancies between observed and computed hot spots are attributed to neglect of axial dispersion of heat, which neglect also accounts for observed length-dependent radial conductivities. The Nusselt number for heat transport at the
