CONCLUSION
A Package for multi-phase catalytic and non-catalytic
reactors has been developed which demonstrates the
capability to handle complex Material and Energy Balances
and associated correlations.
Features to Be Added:-
+Add a utility to perform reaction rate optimization.
This is very useful when reaction rate is not
known.
+Build a kinetic database of specific industries
such as Sulfuric Acid and Ammonium Phosphate.
