A study on naphtha catalytic reforming reactor simulation and analysis.
A naphtha catalytic reforming unit with four reactors in series is analyzed. A physical model is proposed to describe the catalytic reforming radial flow reactor. Kinetics and thermodynamics equations are selected to describe the naphtha catalytic reforming reactions characteristics based on idealizing the complex naphtha mixture by representing the paraffin, naphthene, and aromatic groups by s...
متن کاملOptimization of Semiregenerative Catalytic Naphtha Reforming Unit to Enhance Octane Number and Reformate Yield
Catalytic naphtha reforming is one of the most important processes in which, low quality naphtha is converted into high octane motor gasoline. In this study, a mathematical model was developed and was used for investigation the effect of temperature, pressure, hydrogen to hydrocarbon ratio on the octane number, the yield of product and the undesirable phenomena of coke deposition in a semiregen...
متن کاملDynamic Modeling and Simulation of Industrial Naphta Reforming Reactor
This work investigated the steady state and dynamic simulation of a fixed bed industrial naphtha reforming reactors. The performance of the reactor was investigated using a heterogeneous model. For process simulation, the differential equations are solved using the 4th order Runge-Kutta method .The models were validated against measured process data of an existing naphtha reforming plant. The r...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of long and slender cylinders vibrating in axial flow applied to the MYRRHA reactor
Flow induced vibrations are an important concern in the design of nuclear reactors. One of the possible designs of the 4th generation nuclear reactors is a lead-cooled fast reactor of which MYYRHA is a prototype. The combination of high liquid density, flow velocity, low pitch-todiameter ratio and the absence of grid spacers makes this design prone to flow induced vibrations. Although most vibr...
متن کاملImprovement of Hydrodynamics Performance of Naphtha Catalytic Reforming Reactors Using CFD
Due to high applicability of the fixed bed catalytic naphtha reforming reactors, hydrodynamic features of this kind of reactors with radial flow pattern are improved in this work by utilising computational fluid dynamics technique. Effects of catalytic bed porosity, inlet flow rate and flow regime through the bed on the flow distribution within the system are investigated.It is found that t...
