N2 - A quantitative kinetic model, denominated TC4, for the catalytic conversion of n-butane is proposed. The model considers 56 elementary reactions, six of them were chosen to occur in heterogeneous phase. The TC4 model can be used to predict the product distribution and the heterogeneous rate constants for a wide range of conditions and on different catalyst types. The model can fit also the experimental data from the isobutane dehydrogenation reaction. A plot, that we have denominated "the graphic's performance of a catalyst", is proposed for the evaluation of the maximum yield of a catalyst with a minimum of experimental data.
