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 t...
