[ 1 ] - Improvement 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...
[ 2 ] - A New Piecewise EOS for Compressibility Factor Prediction Based on the M-factor Theory
In this study for the first time a new description of compressibility factor is rendered based on the virial expansion. The compressibility factor as a function of M-factor is qualitatively and quantitatively expressed. At first, we present how may the third, fourth and higher order virial coefficients be logically ignored in order to simplify the virial equation. The results show, wh...
