PARAMETER SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS ON MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF METHANE OXIDATION USING REVERSE FLOW REACTOR WITH PERIODICALLY PERTURBED FEED GAS
In this paper, we investigate the effect of operation parameters to dynamic of dependent variables for catalytic oxidation reaction using reverse flow reactor (RFR). Here, we consider a 1-D pseudo-homogeneous model for RFR with cooling through the wall and periodically perturbed feed gas. By using finite difference method to the model, we construct numerical schemes. The simulations are conducted for various values of period of gas feeding, switching time, cooling capacity and superficial velocity.
