Abstract

A well reasoned steady state model for simulation of pentane isomerization in a long tubular reactor predicts important reaction variables such as feed conversion, product yields, temperature and pressure. The predictions are based on inputs including feed flowrates, composition, temperature and pressure. The model includes a set of differential equations for component concentrations with respect to axial distance along the reactor, and reaction rate constants expressed in terms of physical properties. A method of programming a computer for simulating the reaction is disclosed.
