Several factors can influence fluid flow rates in a catalytic system:
Viscosity of the fluid: Higher viscosity fluids require more energy to flow through the catalyst bed. Pressure: Higher pressure can increase the flow rate, but it may also affect the catalyst's physical structure. Temperature: Temperature changes can alter the fluid's density and viscosity, impacting the flow rate. Catalyst bed porosity: A more porous bed allows for easier fluid flow, which can enhance the contact between the fluid and the catalyst.
