To our benefit, the modelling of fluid‐solid catalyzed reaction‐reactor systems has long been the keen concern of Hanns Paul Hofmann. In the light of his instruction we remark upon key aspects of modelling for the (a) fixed bed (b) fluid bed and (c) moving bed/transport line reactors. There emerges from such analyses a properly renewed awareness of the need for a more sophisticated respect for reliable physical‐chemical data. As Hanns has taught us, our models are no btter than our data.
