Sulfur, which is incorporated in the biomass structure, is released into the product gas during gasification as hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide is known to deactivate nickel based steam reforming catalysts by chemisorption on the metal surface during steam reforming process. ... Read More
In the core of Chemical Engineering is the reactor design that includes most of all scientific disciplines. The reactors, in general, are treated ideally. Unfortunately, it is observed in the real world a very different behavior from that expected. Thus, to characterize nonideal ... Read More
氢能燃烧值高且无污染，被认为是人类社会摆脱对化石能源依赖的理想能源。目前氢能应用的主要瓶颈是氢存储。而氢存储的主要方式中，金属氢化物因其安全性高，循环性能好的优点，得到广泛的研究。但由于金属氢化物吸放氢反应的热效应、粉末床的传热和传质特性较差等问题，贮氢罐的吸放氢速率下降，成为限制应用的主要因素。最近十几年，贮氢罐吸放氢过程的数值模拟及相关模型得到广泛的研究。通过数值模拟方法可以优化设计贮氢罐，以期满足实际应用中的需求，同时节约设计成本。本文面对贮氢罐的实际指标(吸氢速率1.5 L min-1)，采用COMSOL软件中的多孔介质传热、地下流动以及数学模块 ... Read More
COMSOL Multiphysics has been applied to develop a model for inductive heating. A coarse, lumped model of the interior of a high temperature reactor is coupled to finite element models for the electromagnetic field, the temperature distribution outside the reactor, and mechanical stresses ...

In the present work, numerical simulations of a Monolith Reactor (MR) are carried out in order to develop a pre-design tool for industrial-scale reactors applied to highly exothermal reactions. The reacting circular channels (2-4 mm internal diameter) are coated with a few micron thick ... Read More
Introduction: Development of next-generation chemical processes that have zero emissions is a key environmental objective for sustainable development. The manufacture of H2SO4 by the air oxidation of SO2 to SO3 is an important technology where an opportunity exists for new catalyst ... Read More
Chemical reaction kinetics identification is an essential and enabling step for reaction engineering designs. This presentation explores the COMSOL platform for performing the kinetics estimation and subsequent reaction engineering of a catalytic reaction with formation of competing ... Read More
Steam methane reforming is a widely studied process because of its importance for hydrogen production. A two-dimensional membrane-reactor model was developed to investigate the steam-methane reforming reactions. The use of membrane as membrane-reactor separator offer us few advantages ... Read More
