Taylor‐vortex membrane reactor for continuous gas‐liquid reactions

High-Temperature Membrane Reactor for Catalytic Gas-Solid Reactions

A mathematical model, based on the dusty-gas model extended with surface diffusion, is presented that describes mass transport owing to molecular diffusion and viscous flow, as well as an instantaneous reversible reaction inside a membrane reactor. The reactants are fed to opposite sides of the membrane, considering masstransfer resistances in the gas phase outside the membrane. The Claus react...

Reactor modeling and kinetic parameters estimation for diethylbenzene (DEB) dehydrogenation reactions

Divinylbenzene (DVB) is produced by catalytic dehydrogenation of DEB at high temperature and atmospheric pressure. Ethylvinylbenzene (EVB) is produced as a useful chemical during dehydrogenation of DEB. Also some other liquid and gaseous by products is produced during dehydrogenation. A set-up has been developed to conduct the DEB dehydrogenation reactions experiments to prepare DVB at differen...

MATLAB Simulation for Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor

This paper presents control of the nonlinear system represented by a Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) using MATLAB’s Graphical User Interface (GUI). This simulation provides computation for various values of the input variables, which made this program universal for the wide range of the users without theoretical knowledge about modeling, simulation, and control.

A Comprehensive Model for Catalytic Membrane Reactor

Catalytic membrane reactors are multifunctional reactors, which provide improved performance over conventional reactors. These are used mainly for conducting hydrogenation/ dehydrogenation reactions, and synthesis of oxyorganic compounds by using inorganic membranes. In this paper, comprehensive model has been developed for a tubular membrane reactor, which is applicable to Pd or Pd alloys memb...
