To design control strategies for stable and safe operation of such reactors, information on dynamic response of such units are needed. Dynamic response of a pilot scale multi-tubular packed bed reactors in shell tube heat exchanger configuration performing dehydrogenation of isopropyl alcohol are presented. © 2014 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. %Z cited By 0; Conference of 3rd International Conference on Process Engineering and Advanced Materials, ICPEAM 2014 ; Conference Date: 3 June 2014 Through 5 June 2014; Conference Code:114811
