Numerical simulation and experimental study of the acetylene hydrogenation reaction

Abstract

© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. A mathematical model of the acetylene hydrogenation reaction is constructed. Numerical modeling and experimental studies of the hydrogenation of acetylene in a reactor with a catalyst based on open cell foam material have been carried out. The results of numerical modeling and experimental studies are in good agreement. The calculation results show that with increasing temperature in the reactor, the mass content of acetylene decreases.
