High Temperature Aims and scope

Abstract

A numerical simulation is carried out of the exothermal heterogeneous reaction of cumene oxidation on the basis of a homogeneous model of bubble liquid. The thermal properties of the bubble medium are determined according to the proposed model. The influence of different factors is investigated on an oxidation level with a volume gas content value of more than 0.5.
