摘要
Techno-economic development of chemical looping combustion （CLC） process has been one of the most pursued research areas of the present decade due to its ability to reduce carbon foot print during utilization of coal to generate energy. Based on a 2D computational fluid dynamics model, the present work provides a computational approach to study the effect of operating pressure--a key parameter in designing of CLC reactors, on optimum operating conditions. The effects of operating pressure have been examined in terms of reactors temperature, percentage of fuel conversion and purity of carbon dioxide in fuel reactor exhaust. The simulated results show qualitative agreement with the trends obtained by other investigators during experimental studies.
