The determination of the optimal distribution of the catalytic activity profile, whichmaximizes the catalytic effectiveness, in created unsteady state conditions, is analyzed andtreated numerically for the case of a simple reaction. It was proven that the modulation, of thetemperature and the reactant concentration of the external bulk fluid, leads to a considerableincrease of the catalytic effectiveness. The optimal active element distribution is a Dirac- δfunction i.e. all the catalyst must be deposited at a specific distance from the center of thecatalytic pellet. It was shown that this optimal position changes with time in a sinusoidal manner.This purpose can be achieved by the use of ultrasounds to artificially control the activity profile. تفاصيل المقالة
