An acceptable size kinetic scheme of the pyrolysis of propane is proposed by the authors. The scheme is obtained using the methods of local and global sensitivity analysis of the model. The mathematical model used in the ANSYS Fluent package is given. The model is the equation of continuity, conservation of momentum, and conservation of energy, supplemented by the continuity equations for each gas component.Research Results. The numerical simulation of the threedimensional dynamics of the gas flow of propane pyrolysis using the ANSYS Fluent software package and a compact kinetic model is carried out for the first time. Calculations of the gas flow dynamics of propane pyrolysis are conducted in the laboratory reactor with account of the diffusion processes, chemical reactions and their thermal effects.

The results of the research and simulation of the propane pyrolysis can form the basis for describing the process in the reactor volume under the influence of the laser radiation. |
