Methane Combustion in a Bubbling Fluidized Bed (steady-state)

Methane Combustion in a Bubbling Fluidized Bed (steady-state)#

Steady-state flowsheet example of the bubbling fluidized bed model for methane combustion with an iron-oxide based oxygen carrier.

This model is for demonstration and tutorial purposes only.

The model code is located in the main flowsheet module and may be imported as:

>>> from idaes.models_extra.gas_solid_contactors.flowsheets.ss_BFB_methane_combustion import main
>>> m = main()

Inputs:

  • Bed diameter

  • Bed height

  • Number of orifices

  • Gas feed - flowrate, pressure, temperature, composition

  • Solid feed - flowrate, particle porosity, temperature, composition
