Detailed numerical simulations of catalytic fixed-bed reactors: Heterogeneous dry reforming of methane

Thermodynamic analysis of dry reforming of CH4 with CO2 at high pressures

“…In addition to experimental works, theoretical and numerical models were also established to perform parametric studies on DRM kinetic characteristics and reactor designs. These models can be divided into 0-D (Amin and Yaw, 2007;Nikoo and Amin, 2011;Li et al, 2008;Zhang et al, 2014), 1-D (Eppinger et al, 2011), 2-D (Behroozsarand and Pour, 2014;Yin et al, 2007), and 3-D models (Wehinger et al, 2015) based on their spatial dimensions. The 0-D model is also referred to as the thermodynamic equilibrium model because it is spaceindependent and the chemical reactions are conducted under equilibrium conditions.…”

Numerical simulation of particle/monolithic two-stage catalyst bed reactor for oxidative coupling of methane

“…The heterogeneous model (Kočí et al, 2004;Starý et al, 2006) is an excellent model for monolith bed simulation and can give accuracy results with short time. But heterogeneous model for particle bed simulation is a time consuming work (Wehinger et al, 2015). In this work, the reactor has two catalyst beds and heterogeneous model is not suitable to simulate the particle bed.…”

CO 2 reforming of methane over Ni–Co/ZSM5 catalysts. Aging and carbon deposition study

“…On the other hand, an interest in methane and carbon dioxide removal and utilization has considerably increased during the last decades. In addition, the processes in which CH 4 and CO 2 react to produce syngas (H 2 and CO) are attracting more attention in the engineers and scientists communities [7]. The syngas can be used directly for the production of liquid fuels by Fischer Tropsch synthesis [8].…”
