Mr. Claus Abt 14 Report post Posted February 20, 2015 Geometrical or physical modeling? If the first, any picture available? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mr. Harry Gatley__0001 Report post Posted February 20, 2015 Physical and in many shapes and sizes. These reactors have fixed beds of catalyst and also appear as coiled tubes in direct fired heaters without catalysts. The catalyst manufacturer gives us a space velocity they guess will fit the reactants and we then build the reactor. I want to be able to use a mesh and generate the fluid flows including the chemical equilibria at each node as they change with heat and mass transfer, pressure and temperature.

Mr. Claus Abt 14 Report post Posted February 23, 2015 For the "many shapes and sizes" we can help you. Do you know of any reliable physical modeling tool for such processes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mr. Harry Gatley__0001 Report post Posted February 23, 2015 I use AutoCAD to develop a mesh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
