Comprehensive modelling and its application to simulation of fluidized-bed reactors for efficient production of hydrogen and other hydrocarbon processes

A generalized comprehensive model, coupled with experimentation in a pilot reactor, is developed to simulate the performance of fluidized-bed catalytic reactors. The model characterizes multiple phases and regions (low-density phase, high-density phase, staged membranes, freeboard region) in differe...
