Abstract

This work is devoted to numerical simulation of methane conversion to acetylene under plasma jet pyrolysis conditions and to comparison of simulation results with available experimental data. Calculations have been carried out in terms of the plug-flow reactor model for atmospheric pressure. The main processes of methane decomposition and acetylene formation have been analyzed for the case of using either hydrogen or methane as a plasma-forming gas. The results of calculations on the main products of methane decomposition (hydrogen and acetylene) are in good agreement with experimental data.
