What it is
A physics-based simulation study that extends the bench-scale SBH experiment into design space: five reactor heat-recovery configurations — baseline, wrap coil, internal coil, embedded purification, and hybrid — compared under identical model equations.
Highlights
- Answers the what-if questions experiments can’t reach: coil placement, thermal integration, operating envelopes
- Internal coil cuts peak temperature the most; the hybrid design gives the best overall balance
- Embedded purification is a win–win coupling: reaction heat improves CO-removal catalysis while cooling the reactor
- Clear design guidance — simplicity → wrap coil · thermal performance → internal coil · purification efficiency → thermal integration
Scenario values withheld pending publication.
→ Built with the SBH Thermal Reactor Framework. → Next: CCPP-LOHC Optimization applies the same method at MW scale.
