✦ Synopsis
An axial dispersion model has been developed for a continuous fluid&d bed catalytic reactor with a cocurrent flow of the emulsion phase gas and the catalyst particles. The influence of some parameters on multiplicity of steady states has been reported. Several examples illustrating the transient behavior of the system are presented. In cases where three steady states are possible it appears that the intermediate steady state is unstable, while the lower and the upper steady states are locally stable. It was noted that the initial temperature of the emulsion phase is a predominant factor in determining which steady state will be approached.

For the conditions analyzed in the present article the model of Rajah and Wen more closely follows the experimental trends. However, some d
## Abstract The countercurrent backmixing model of a fluidized bed reactor predicts axial concentration profiles quite different from those suggested by simple two‐phase models. The models can also be distinguished in terms of the dependence of conversion on operating variables. An experimental st
