Combined Method of Hydrocarbon Conversion in a Tubular Reactor with a Catalyzing Box, and Its Mathematical Model
RESUMO
This article describes a method of combining hydrocarbon conversion in one reactor, where the endothermic conversion of hydrocarbon with water vapor is carried out in the reactor tubes, and the oxygen conversion of hydrocarbons is carried out in a catalyzing box surrounding the tubes. This method does not require burning fuel to heat the reactor, so it is highly efficient, because there is no contamination from smoke. The mathematical model of the proposed method includes equations of material and thermal balances, equilibrium of chemical responses, heat transfer, speeds of chemical reactions and mass hyphen reacting substances, and products of the reactions in a porous layer of catalyst. This model is used to calculate the technological parameters of the combined method of hydrocarbon conversion in a tubular reactor with a surrounding catalyzing box.
