St. Kolaczkowski et Dj. Worth, MODELING CHANNEL INTERACTIONS IN A NONADIABATIC MULTICHANNEL CATALYTIC COMBUSTION REACTOR, Catalysis today, 26(3-4), 1995, pp. 275-282
The development of a mathematical model to account for channel interac
tions in a multichannel monolith with square shaped channels is descri
bed. As an example of the application of the code, channel interaction
s are modelled that result from a maldistribution in fuel supply into
a catalytic monolith combustor. The response of a metal and a ceramic
monolith are compared, demonstrating the advantages of conduction as a
method of dissipating heat in the radial direction.
