Claim 8:
9. The process of claim 1, further comprising:
dehydrogenating a second alkane in a second reactor to produce a second effluent comprising at least one of a second n-olefin or a second diolefin,
removing the second effluent from the second reactor; and
regenerating the second reactor,
wherein the second reactor comprises a fixed bed reaction zone containing particles of a second dehydrogenation catalyst disposed around sealed containers housing a second phase change material, wherein the sealed containers are spaced apart within the second reactor fixed bed reaction zone and wherein the particles of second dehydrogenation catalyst fill a space between the sealed containers;
wherein the second alkane is different from the first alkane; and
wherein the dehydrogenation of the second alkane results in the temperature of the second phase change material to drop such that the second phase change material undergoes a phase transition.
