ABSTRACT
In a search of concepts for innovative reactors allowing CO₂ capture in gas turbine, monolith based chemical looping combustion has been identified as a promising concept. A precise simulation of the chemical looping combustion in a channel of monolith is developed to define the design rules and the material specifications. The objective is also to evaluate this innovative process in terms of power yield and CO₂ capture efficiency.
To build the simulator with few efforts and to keep enhancements possibilities, we choose Comsol Multiphysics (Femlab 3.1). We present the simulator of the chemical lloping combustion, its main assumptions and some numerical difficulties we were facing and how we overcome them. Then we give some numerical results derived from a numerical demo, for illustration.
