CFD analysis of hot spot formation through a fixed bed reactor of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis

One of the interesting methods for conversion of synthesis gas to heavy hydrocarbons is Fischer–Tropsch process. The process has some bottlenecks, such as hot spot formation and low degree of conversion. In this work, computational fluid dynamics technique was used to simulate conversion of syntheti...
