Using macroscopic mass and momentum balance equations applied to the gas and liquid phases, a physical model describing the hydrodynamics in a steady‐state pressurized cocurrent gas‐liquid trickle‐bed reactor is described. Current models in the literature use an adjustable parameter to fit the experimental data, whereas the model presented does not. Comparisons between the model data and experimental data are presented.
