✦ Synopsis
The distributions of residence times, DRTs, and contact times, DCTs, were measured for ethene reacting with hydrogen, and the ethane thus formed on a palladium catalyst supported on aluminium silicate in an isothermal packed bed reactor at temperatures between 60 and 200°C. The reaction strongly influences the DRTs and DCTs of the reactant and product molecules. The temperature dependence of the DRTs and DCTs of ethane and ethene were investigated with and without chemical reaction at nearlv constant conversion. The results are explained quantitatively by means of a generahsed time delay model. *P. Orth is now with the VEBA-Chemie AG, 466 Gelsenkirchen-Buer.

A stochastic model based on Markov chain is proposed to describe the gas residence time distribution and contact time distribution in multistage fluidised beds. The Kolmogorov-Feller equations are solved by Laplace transform and subsequent numerical inversion. The effects of flow fluctuations on the
The properties of gas-fluidized beds containing various packings such as spheres, saddles, and screen cylinders have been examined. Measurements have been made of pressure drop, minimum fluidization velocity, and bed expansion for a range of particle-packing combinations. Preliminary measurements of
The distribution of residence-times of the gas flowing through a fluidised catalyst regenerator has been determined by using helium as a tracer. Only about 5 y0 of the gas spends less than half, and about 5 y0 more than twice, the mean residence-time in the regenerator. It appears that the flow thro
