Abstract
An important problem for safe process control is the attenuation of temperature peaks due to exothermic chemical reactions. Steady-state simulations of a temperature peak attenuation by catalyst dilution at the entrance of a polytrop tubular packed-bed have been carried out using the reaction model of the exothermic ammonia synthesis. The requirement of the temperature peak attenuation together with a maximum yield can be met by an optimal dilution profile.
