ABSTRACT
Various types of industrial reactors may occur in different phases as applications and desired properties of the final product, for example, the fixed bed, fluidized bed, slurry bed, and bed phase reactors. In fluidized bed reactors as in slurry bed, the solid (catalyst) is composed of very small particles and moving along the reactor. The fluid flow over these reactors is complex. In these systems, the flow of the fluid phase is not homogeneous and there are large deviations from the ideal behavior of a CSTR or plug flow reactor (PFR), characterizing them in nonideal reactors.
