Consider CFD modeling to improve reactor design for synthesis gas production.

The article informs that the numerical flow simulation became more important and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes are accepted as design tools. Advancements in computer technology and software have Facilitated the incorporation of CFD models for industrial system design. New software is more efficient, and more software packages are available that solve general fluid-flow problems. The coupling between reaction scheme and momentum equations is given by the density depending on the temperature, gas mixture and pressure. The relation between temperature, enthalpy and gas mixture is strongly nonlinear and must be solved iteratively.
