This work uses a computational fluid dynamics approach for the simulation of a slurry bubble column reactor, applied in the hydroconversion of heavy oils under severe temperature and pressure operating conditions. Simulations are carried out in two steps: first, the fluid dynamics is determined by the calculation of the pressure drop in the bed and the radial distribution of gas and slurry for the...
