Dynamic Modelling Of Industrial So2 Oxidation Reactors Part Ii. Model Of A Reverse-Flow Reactor, Krzysztof J. Gosiewski

Krzysztof Gosiewski

The results are presented of a computer simulation of a reverse-flow reactor. The results are compared with experimental data quoted by other workers. The necessity to take into account gas-to-catalyst heat transfer is stressed, so that quantitatively correct predictions may be obtained using the model. A brief description is given of the way flow reversal has been incorporated in the model, and the possibility of the accumulation of errors occurring during the calculations is mentioned. It is shown that the one-dimensional heterogeneous model of the bed makes it possible to analyze the process with an accuracy sufficient for the preliminary …
