We propose and demonstrate by calculations novel modular reactor configurations with electrical resistance heating for endothermic reactions such as cracking and steam reforming of hydrocarbons. The basic unit of each module consists of a set of wires, tubes, plates, monolith, or gauze/wire meshes arranged in parallel or series to satisfy the current–voltage constraints. The smaller dimensions such as spacing and diameter are selected to obtain nearly uniform heating temperature within the reaction zone.

用于烃裂解和其他吸热反应的电阻加热模块化反应器

我们提出并通过计算证明了具有电阻加热的新型模块化反应器配置，用于吸热反应，例如烃的裂解和蒸汽重整。每个模块的基本单元由一组平行或串联排列的电线、管子、板、单块或纱网/金属丝网组成，以满足电流-电压约束。选择较小的尺寸，例如间距和直径，以在反应区内获得几乎均匀的加热温度。
