Process modeling or computer simulation is one of the most important studies which gives the engineer a whole description about certain processes including all the mathematical relationships that are relating the process variables.
Transport phenomena on fixed bed reactor was studied because of their importance and their effects on the catalyst performance in all chemical reactions.
Simultaneous mass , heat and pressure drop were studied and all the process variables such as temperature, rate of reaction , pressure along length of the reactor were calculated and the data obtained from the mathematical package showed that with the increase the reaction temperature the process production , rate of reaction and pressure drop will increase.
