Coded variables:

Here is the list of coded qualitative variables which can be referred as a model input. The user must refer to this list and make corrections in his file before starting any simulation.

The codes correspond to:
1) Flow regime: (for packed beds) classifies the operation regime in seven categories observed in packed bed reactors: preloading zone, loading point, loading zone, flooding point, flooding zone, dry conditions, static gas liquid flow only and static liquid wet conditions.

1) General flow regime:classifies the operation regime in trickle beds in three important categories, the low interaction regime (LIR), high interaction regime (HIR) and transition regime between LIR and HIR.

2) Specific flow regime: (for trickle beds and flooded beds) classifies the operation regime into more specific flow regimes, which are part of the LIR or the HIR (i.e. trickling flow, pulsing flow, bubble flow, etc...).

3) Foaming property: classifies the nature of the liquid, which is either coalescing or foaming.

4) Packing type: classifies the solid phase (particle) based on its shape.

5) Packing wettabillity: the packing wettability corresponds roughly to the hydrophilic properties of the material. It may be considered hydrophilic (good wettability) or hydrophobic (poor wettability).

6) Packing microporosity: the packing microporosity defines whether the packing type/material contains void within its shape. This is mostly the case for catalyst materials.

7) Fluid composition: gas and liquid phases are identified in the Multi_R_Designer integrated databank in order to make accessible queries and comparisons based on specific gas or liquid. This coded variable, contrary to the ones mentioned above, was never used as a model input but may become useful in the query section.
