โฆ Synopsis
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 wall is inferred to be "* Pr(O.llRe, + 20.64) JvUW =5.73(Z) R#"I

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
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
Catalytic decontamination of waste gases in a fixed bed reactor, operating at non-steady state conditions achieved by periodic gas flow reversal, is simulated on the basis of a mathematical model. The opportunity to utilize a significant part of the reaction heat is discussed and the effect of catal
