Detailed Modelling of Short-contact-time Reactors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Light alkanes can be converted to more useful chemicals in noble metal coated monoliths at very short contact times. The short-contacttime reactor is described by detailed models for the flow field, chemistry, and their coupling. The partial oxidation of methane to synthesis gas in a rhodium coated monolith is studied numerically as an example.

Two-dimensional Modeling of Partial Oxidation of Methane on Rhodium in a Short Contact Time Reactor
Partial oxidation of methane in monolithic catalysts at very short contact times has recently been shown to offer a promising route to convert natural gas into syngas (CO, H2), which can subsequently be converted to higher alkanes or methanol. Detailed models are needed to understand the complex interaction of transport and kinetics occurring in these reactors. In this work, the partial oxidati...
متن کاملTowards a better understanding of transient processes in catalytic oxidation reactors
Light-off of the partial oxidation of methane to synthesis gas on a rhodiumcoated cordierite honeycomb monolith at short contact times is studied experimentally and numerically. The objective of this investigation is a better understanding of transient processes in catalytic oxidation reactors. The numerical simulation predicts the time-dependent solid-temperature distribution of the entire rea...

Objectives: lower leg discrepancy is a common problem which causes the changes in the plantar pressure distribution pattern during gait. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to study the symmetry in the various plantar pressure distribution parameters in the elderly subject with leg discrepancy. Methods & Materials: Twenty-one elderly from Esfehan with leg discrepancy (1.5 to 3 cm) parti...
متن کاملDynamic Modeling of Granular Sludge in UASB Reactors
n this paper, a mathematical model has been derived to predict the granulation time of anaerobic sludge in UASB reactors. In the proposed model, some physical, chemical and biological parameters affecting the granulation phenomena have been considered. To validate the model, 12 pilot-scale experiments in 4 UASB reactors are carried out and the results are discussed here. The reactors are starte...
متن کاملRelationship between Diamond Growth Rate and Hydrocarbon Injector Location in Direct-current Arcjet Reactors
A series of detailed calculations have been carried out using a stagnation flow model to examine the dependence of diamond growth rate on hydrocarbon injector location in dc arcjet reactors. It is predicted that, for methane feed, growth rate can be increased by as much as 75% by relocating the injector from a position near the plasma torch exit to one near the diamond surface, but outside the ...
