Abstract
A tubular steam methane conversion apparatus containing a coaxial insert co ated with a nickel-chromium catalyst by thermal gas deposition was experime ntally studied and mathematically modeled. By solving the inverse problem, the parameters of the kinetic function of the steam-methane reaction were f ound. The efficiency of the coaxial tubular apparatus was shown to consider ably exceed the efficiencies of its modern industrial analogs, namely the P PR-600 and PPR-1360 furnaces and the Kellog tubular reactor.
