Abstract
A recuperative reactor with a fixed porous bed for oxidization of organic impurities contained in air has been simulated. This reactor represents a system consisting of two coaxial tubes filled with a porous carcass mix. The influence of the dimensions of the reactor, the heat losses through its side wall, and the diameter of the filling-material balls on the maximum temperature realized in it, the efficiency of recuperation, and the position of the combustion front has been investigated. It has been established that the maximum temperature of the indicated reactor changes nonmonotonically with increase in the heat exchanges between its side wall and the environment. The parametric-investigation results obtained can be used for optimization of the design of recuperative reactors.
