Abstract
The unsteady state behavior of a tubular heterogeneous catalytic reactor, in which significant adsorption effects occur, has been investigated theoretically and experimentally. Transient responses of conversion to step increases and decreases of flow rate as well as to periodic variations in flow rate are considered. A simplified procedure for anticipating gross effects in cyclic processes is suggested.Keywords
