Vibration Characterization of a Tubular Chemical Reactor

An essential element of the chemical industry operating system is the chemical reactor, which employs potentially dangerous materials and processes. The chemical sector employs potentially dangerous materials and processes. Thus, negligence or misfortune can easily result in devastating consequences like human health, the environment, the economy, and the industry’s reputation. Therefore, the vibration characterization of this system is essential and directly associated with its physical properties such as mass, damping, and stiffness. The numerical model is based on the Spectral Element Method (SEM), and numerical investigations are conducted regarding the effects of internal fluid on the reactor. This paper concerns the vibration characteristics of a tubular chemical reactor, and its vibration signatures represented by the acceptance response are used to characterize the reactor dynamic.
