The problem of a steady state plug flow transport or moving bed reactor has been solved by computer techniques for the case where the solid phase acts as a heat carrier and chemical reaction occurs only in the gas phase. The mathematical model reduces to a set of simultaneous ordinary first order differential equations, which are solved by both the Runge‐Kutta‐Gill method on a digital computer and by simulation on an analog computer.
