TL;DR: It is shown that nanocrystalline gold catalysts can provide tunable active catalysts for the oxidation of alkenes using air, with exceptionally high selectivity to partial oxidation products and significant conversions.
Book ChapterDOI
Packed Tubular Reactor Modeling and Catalyst Design using Computational Fluid Dynamics
TL;DR: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is rapidly becoming a standard tool for the analysis of chemically reacting flows as discussed by the authors, and the application of CFD to the simulation of three-dimensional interstitial flow in packed tubes, with and without catalytic reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic mesh development for 3D CFD simulation of fixed beds: Contact points study
TL;DR: Results for drag coefficient and heat flow for flow past sphere–sphere and wall-sphere contact points for CFD simulations of transport in fixed beds of spheres, focusing on higher flow rates typical of industrial steam reformers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eurokin - Chemical reaction kinetics in practice.
TL;DR: The Eurokin Group as mentioned in this paper is a consortium of over 10 European companies and 4 universities working on the determination of reaction kinetics and their application in the form of a kinetic model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catalyst design by CFD for heat transfer and reaction in steam reforming
TL;DR: In this article, a comparative study was made of the influence on heat transfer performance in the near-wall region, of internal voids in cylindrical particles, in a steam reforming packed bed reactor tube.
