Popis: In this study, the effect of three main variables such as pressure, temperature and H 2 /CO ratio at fixed space velocity, on Fishcer-Tropsch synthesis case study are investigated in a micro fixed-bed reactor by design experiment and artificial neural network. This study based on experimental data and statistical model. Response surface methodology and artificial neural network were applied for modeling and predicting of the experimental data for catalytic kinetic for the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide. We proposed a practical method to evaluate and modeling the experimental data by used two techniques. The capability and sensitivity analysis of two models were evaluated by some of statistical parameters such as correlation coefficient and mean square error. The error values of response surface methodology and artificial neural network model were calculated. There is a good unanimity between the experimental data and two models, but the artificial neural network model was stronger and more accurate than the response surface methodology model. Finally, all of statistical values and results were calculated.
