Study of the Processes of Steam-Hydrogen Mixture Generation in a Reactor for Hydrothermal Aluminum Oxidation for Power Units

摘要

This work is devoted to the study of the processes of generation of steam-hydrogen gaseous mixtures formed in the hydrothermal oxidation of aluminum and its further utilization in power units. One of the main objects of this study is a reactor that generates steam-hydrogen mixtures, and the main problem is the continuous mode of its operation. Analytical calculations of thermodynamic parameters that are characteristic of the continuous hydrothermal oxidation of aluminum are reported together with the results of the experimental study of this mode. A combination of theoretical and experimental studies made it possible to determine the composition of aluminum - water suspensions and the range of thermodynamic parameters that are optimal for the continuous reactor of steam - hydrogen mixture generation.
