CFD modeling on external mass transfer and intra-particle diffusional effects on the supercritical hydrogenation of sunflower oil

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is applied to the study of the catalytic hydrogenation of sunflower oil in the presence of a supercritical solvent. A 2D CFD model of a single Pd-based catalyst pellet is presented. Intra-particle concentration profiles for all species present in the mixture (oil f...
