Additional information

The relevance of hydrodynamics, reactor geometry, and feeding policy on the performance of a ﬂuidized bed reactor (FBR) for the Oxidative Coupling of Methane is shown. Several case studies of FBRs were simulated in full 3D geometry with different reactor geometries and feeding policy. These studies show the signiﬁcance of hydrodynamic parameters, and moreover, how FBR performance can be improved by a study of coupled momentum-mass transport-reaction phenomena. Furthermore, it could be demonstrated that a suitable distributed feeding policy of oxygen provides an improved yield while a traditional FBR design results in an inferior performance among all investigated cases
