Includes bibliographical references (p. 84-87). Fischer Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) is the conversion of syngas (CO and H2) to cleaner liquid transportation fuels. The modelling of such a supercritical, highly non-ideal, multi-component system requires the detailed knowledge of the reaction mechanism, reaction kinetics, phase-equilibrium and reactor technology. The objectives of this work were to: develop a complete Fischer Tropsch model, predict the hydrocarbon product distribution, determine what effect Vapour-Liquid Equilibrium (VLE) has on the product distribution, selectivity and kinetics, and determine whether the deviations from the 'ideal' Anderson-Schulz Flory (ASF) distribution can be attributed to VLE. 2015-01-01T12:41:43Z 2015-01-01T12:41:43Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10853 eng application/pdf Department of Chemical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
