Numerical study of three -dimensional heat and mass transfer in a metal–hydrogen reactor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three dimensional heat and mass transfer in a metal-hydrogen reactor are numerically studied using the control-volume-based finite element method (CVFEM).The distributions of the temperature and the hydride density on the hydriding process is presented and discussed. The effects of dimensions reactor, imposed hydrogen pressure, inlet temperature and hydride thermal conductivity in the reaction kinetic are also determined.

Improved numerical simulation of the low temperature Fischer-Tropsch synthesis in a trickle bed reactor
Abstract Gas to liquid (GTL) process involves heterogeneous catalytic chemical reactions that convert synthesis gas to hydrocarbons and water vapor. A three phase reactor, called Low temperature Fischer-Tropsch (LTFT) is commonly applied for GTL process. In this reactor the gaseous phase includes the synthesis gas, light hydrocarbons and water vapor, the liquid phase is a mixture of the h...
متن کاملThe effects of added hydrogen to the premixed of methane and air in a MEMS channel
In this paper, the effect of adding hydrogen to the composition of methane and air in a micro combustor is investigated by a three-dimensional numerical method. First, the results of the current study in determining the wall temperature of the micro combustion chamber are compared with those obtained from the experimental and numerical results of the previous research. By confirming the numeric...

For a Czochralski growth of Ge crystal, thermal fields have been analysed numerically using the three-dimensional finite volume method (FLUENT package). The arrangement used in a real Czochralski crystal growth lab included a graphite crucible, heat shield, heating device, thermal insulation and chamber including two gas outlets. We have considered two cases for calculations, which are configur...

In this article three dimensional modeling of a planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) was investigated. The main objective was to attain the optimized cell operation. SOFC operation simulation involves a large number of parameters, complicated equations, (mostly partial differential equations), and a sophisticated simulation technique; hence, a finite element method (FEM) multiphysics approach ...
