From: Microwave Heating-Assisted Catalytic Dry Reforming of Methane to Syngas
The Distribution of the Solid, Bulk and Gas Temperatures According to the DRM Operating Conditions in a Microwave-Assisted Fluidized Bed Reactor. The temperature profile of the solid surface and bulk associated with the reaction time was measured with radiometry and thermometry methods. The significant gradient between the two temperature profiles is evident. However, due to the complex status, the gas temperature profile was estimated using energy balance equations and empirical equations (see citation 25). The results confirm the selective microwave heating mechanism and the opportunity to optimize gas-solid catalytic reactions.
