System description
A fluidized bed reactor is a type of reactor device that can be used to carry out a variety of multiphase chemical reactions.
The presented reactor is carrying out oxidation of benzene to maleic anhydride. The reaction is highly exothermic and the temperature of the bed (T) is carefully controlled by regulating the coolant flow rate (Wc).
Physical quantities:
- T [K] temperature of the bed
- Wc [l/s] coolant flow rate
Mathematical model
The transfer function relating the reactor bed temperature T to coolant flow rate Wc is given by:
