Hybrid modeling of ethylene to ethylene oxide heterogeneous reactor

In this research a dynamic grey box model (GBM) of ethylene oxide (EO) fixed bed reactor has been presented. In the first step of the study, kinetic model of the existing reactions was obtained using artificial neural network (ANN) approach. In order to build the ANN model industrial data of a typic...
