Utilizing Comsol Multiphysics, a 2-D axis symmetric model was tested to evaluate the level of maldistribution of flow through the catalyst bed. Specifically, the effects of flow direction, catalyst size, overall and variable screen resistance, and the total amount of flow through the reactor. Maldistribution findings were based on a velocity profile through the catalyst bed.
