CFD Modeling of Reactor Concepts to Avoid Carbon Deposition in Pyrolysis Reactions

Abstract Methane pyrolysis in an externally heated tubular reactor inevitably ends with clogging of the reactor. Thin molten metal wall films protect walls from carbon depositions. A falling film and a rotating are investigated by CFD simulation. The results show considerable advantages compared to vertical An alternative route for production methane is implementation exothermic chlorination reaction. concept involves inflow inert gas at reactant inlet through porous ensure that reaction takes place center, thus, largely reducing deposits.
