How is the size of a tubular fixed-bed reactor determined?
Thread Content
Friends, I am currently working on a process package, and I’m not sure how to handle the tubular fixed-bed reactor. I would appreciate it if you could provide me with some information and data. The known parameters are as follows: inlet flow rate, and the required space velocity of the catalyst. I want to know how to determine the size of this reactor. My idea is to calculate the volume of catalyst needed based on the inlet flow rate and the required space velocity – but I’m not sure how to use this volume to determine the actual size. I’m not sure what other information might be necessary
Depending on the amount of catalyst. The diameter and length of the heat exchange tubes determine the number of such tubes, which in turn determines the size of the equipment.
What diameter should I choose so that I can still take photos? How do I determine the length of the heat exchange tubes?
