The flowfield is described by multi-species NavierStocks equations. The chemical model includes 11 species （O2, N2, O, N, NO, NO^＋ , N^＋ , O^＋, N2^＋ , O2^＋, e^- ） and 20 reactions. For simulating the thermal non-equilibrium effect, the two-temperature model is considered. The finite volume method （FVM） used for the spatial and directional discretization of radiative transfer equation（RTE） is described for unstructured grids. The numerical code can handle different kinds of species and radiative bands in a gas thermodynamicly described by two temperatures. In particular, the Delta, Epsilon, Beta prime, and Gamma prime bands of NO are choosen and the distribution of the radiation intensity is obtained.展开更多

Since ethane dehydrogenation is an equilibrium reaction,removal of produced hydrogen by the membrane shifts the thermodynamic equilibrium to ethylene production.For further displacement of the dehydrogenation reaction, oxidative dehydrogenation method has been used.Since ethane dehydrogenation is an endothermic reaction, the energy produced by the oxidative dehydrogenation method is consumed by the dehydrogenation reaction. The results show that the oxidative dehydrogenation method generated a substantial improvement in the reactor performance in terms of high conversions and signi ficant energy saving. It was also established that the sweep gas velocity in the shell side of the reactor is one of the most important factors in the effectiveness of the reactor.展开更多
