Résumé : |
Coupling energy intensive endothermic reaction systems with suitable exothermic reactions improves the thermal efficiency of processes, achieving the autothermality within the reactor, reducing the size of the reactors, and achieving a multiple reactants-multiple products configuration. In this study, a dynamic heterogeneous model for a novel thermally coupled reactor-containing methanol synthesis reactions and cyclohexane dehydrogenation-is developed to consider the startup and transient response of the system. This heat-exchanger reactor consists of two fixed beds separated by a wall, where heat is transferred across the surface of tube from the exothermic side to the endothermic side. The proposed model was validated against conventional methanol synthesis reactor, and a good agreement was achieved. Dynamic simulation results for the co-current mode have been investigated to present the response of the reactor outlet temperature, methanol yield, and cyclohexane conversion in the cases of a step change in the initial molar flow rate and inlet temperature of both sides. The challenges posed by the transient operation of thermally coupled reactor are identified to avoid severe issues that can arise in the course of operating the reactor (such as reactor extinction). The results suggest that control of this coupled reactor could be feasible and beneficial. |
