Abstract:
This paper used FLUENT to simulate the Catalytic combustion characteristics of extremely low concentration methane in microchannel of honeycomb combustor which was coated with catalyst Pt/Al2O3.It analyzed the effect of inlet CH4 concentration, temperature of catalyst wall and inlet fuel velocity on CH4 conversion ratio. The results show that CH4 conversion rate is increases with the increase of inlet CH4 concentration and catalyst wall temperature and the decrease of inlet fuel velocity. When inlet fuel velocity is 0.1 m/s, CH4 volume concentration is 1%, catalyst wall temperature is 950 K, the conversion ratio of CH4 can achieve to 97.0%.
