CFD Simulation of Catalytic Cracking of n-Heptane in a Fixed Bed Reactor

Published in Petroleum & Petrochemical Engineering Journal

This work aims to three-dimension computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of n-heptane catalytic cracking in fixed bed reactor (L=0.80 m) and to promote the cracking model of n-heptane using CFD. The catalyst granules were located in middle section of the reactor. The reaction scheme of n-heptane catalytic cracking was involved one primary re...
