    Abstract

    A systematic approach to the generation of a simplified model is presented. The individual sections of the systematic approach:
    1. Model Building.
    2. Simulation.
    3. Simplification.
    4. Use
    are discussed in detail.
    A dynamic model of the catalytic tubular reactor for the dehydrogenation of iso-propanal to acetone is developed. This model was successfully simulated on an analogue computer. The results obtained from the analogue computer simulation were successfully analysed to produce a considerably simplified dynamic model of the reactor. At each stage in the systematic approach the theory, and practice as applied to the reactor model, is presented.
