For strong endothermic reactions in a fixed fluidized bed, what heating method is more appropriate?
Thread Content
In a fixed-bed fluidized reactor at normal pressure and 400°C, an endothermic reaction takes place; the heat of reaction is 100 kJ/mol. If the system is adiabatic, the temperature of the reactor drops by 100°C, and the catalyst’s lifespan is one week – meaning that the heat generated from catalyst combustion cannot be utilized. What heating method would be appropriate in such a situation?
At such high temperatures, the heating medium can probably only be molten salt or flue gas. As for the heating method, could a jacket be considered?
