According to the Ergun's equation and the continuity equation, a two-dimensional hydrodynamic model was established to describe the hydrodynamic behavior in the double-ring RFRs. The successive over-relaxation(SOR) method was applied to solve the two-dimensional hydrodynamic model. The flow assignment parameters(T_i) of mass flow in the inner channel to the outer catalyst bed and the inner catalyst bed were optimized by the Powell method. Simulations showed the trend of change in gas distribution uniformity along the axial direction and the weight hourly space velocity(WHSV) with the variation of reactor size. The model can be used to analyze the reasonability of dehydrogenation reactor design, and it can also provide quantitative reference for the design of new double-ring RFRs.展开更多

The considered reaction networks in the model are isobutene dehydrogenation as main reaction, and hydrogenolysis, propane dehydrogenation as well as coke formation as side reactions that all occur on the catalyst surface. Then, the process condition has been optimized to produce more isobutene under steady state condition. To prove the accuracy of the considered mathematical model and assumptions, simulation results are compared with the plant data. As a powerful method in the global optimization, the genetic algorithm has been used to optimize the considered objective function. The isobutane conversion and isobutene selectivity under optimal conditions are about 40.1% and 91%, respectively.展开更多
