Coupled simulation of heat transfer and reaction in a steam reforming furnace

Abstract: Dedicated to Professor Dr. Hanns Hofmann on the occasion of his 65th birthdayFor design and simulation of chemical process furnaces in accordance with present-day standards, the temperature distributions in the firebox and in the reactors must be generated simultaneously. This calls for coupling of the simulations of the firebox and of the reactor. For the calculation of heat transfer in the firebox, a generalized furnace simulation program, based on the zone method, is applied. Monte Carlo simulation techniqu… Show more

“…In the current work the optimum wall temperature profile leads to the same H 2 dry-base yield (0.66) as that of the simulation by Plehiers and Froment [77], who used the same with the current paper reactor's characteristics and entrance composition of an industrial H 2 plant, which originally yielded 64.5e65.4% H 2 (dry-base plant data). The dry-base H 2 yield can be more (e.g.…”

“…At the SMR reactor exit the quantity of CO may be higher than that of CO 2 [25,37,48,67e76] varying between 6% and 12%. However, higher mole fraction of CO 2 than CO at the reactor exit has also been reported [7,16,36,44,77,78].…”

“…To assess the effect of the novel features introduced in the current study, as compared to the previous work by Pantoleontos et al , the current model computations are validated against the industrial data from a steam methane reforming plant, presented in . The industrial case of an SMR plant is an excellent candidate for model validation and evaluation because of the significant number of literature articles devoted on this subject and its extreme operating conditions that provide for a very stringent challenge for the model.…”

“…Besides, it is a simple and fast computation method, and thus it is well-suited as a subroutine for the computation of the timedependent heat flow to the reforming reactor (Plehiers and Froment, 1989).…”
