GLOBAL KINETICS OF SUPERCRITICAL WATER REFORMATION OF JP-8 FUELS

摘要

Supercritical water reformation of JP-8 fuel is carried out continuously in a tubular reactor (Parr,183 cm long and 2.54 cm in inside diameter)whose macromixing state is similar to that of a plug flow reactor (PFR).The conversion of a chemical reaction taking place in this reactor is,therefore,a direct function of the distance along the reactor length.The reaction time in the reactor can be adjusted by varying the reactant flow rate through the reactor and as such the reactor is an integral type.In the case of supercritical water reformation of JP-8 fuel in a tubular reactor,however,the chemical and physical system involving the reaction process is far more complex than a system of multiple chemical reactions.
