QUERY INDEX, GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION AND MODELS/CORRELATIONS

In this section, the user will be introduced to different interrogation procedures through practical examples in trickle bed reactors for an efficient use of the query index on the integrated databank. A quick summary on the information available in the query index should first be exposed. The information is divided into 11 categorized sections (Fluids, Operating conditions, Reactor, Solid, Liquid, Gas, Hydrodynamics, Mass transfer, Heat transfer, References). Then, several elementary inquires on the integrated databank will be executed for the user to get acquainted with the overall potential of Multi_R_Designer on this aspect. Graphical representation of the query results will also be presented through these examples (Case problems I, II, III, IV & V). A total of 118 models or correlations predicting various operating parameters were implemented in Multi_R_Designer. The procedures surrounding the analysis of the models and correlations on the integrated databank will be presented in case problems VI & VII. Leading to the simulation section, one case problem on the aspects surrounding simultaneous interrogation of users and integrated databases (VIII) are presented.

The integrated databank was assembled with the most complete non-proprietary survey of experimental results for trickle-bed reactors, which have been published in the literature since 1954. The complete publication reference list (articles, thesis, private communications) from which experimental data were extracted is available in Multi_R_Designer. An example on its use is presented.
