Rotating bed reactor for CLC: Bed characteristics dependencies on internal gas mixing.

Highlights: [•] A mathematical model for the rotating CLC reactor has been developed. [•] The model reflects the gas distribution in the reactor during CLC operation. [•] Radial dispersion in the rotating bed is the main cause for internal gas mixing. [•] The model can be used to optimize the reactor design and particle characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
