Radiative models for the furnace side of a bottom-fired reformer

Two different groups of radiative models are used to simulate a Midrex reformer. The modeling includes the furnace-side as well as the reactor-side equations. The simultaneous solution of governing equations provides the flue gas and tube wall temperature profiles. These are compared with literature and plant data. It was observed that the Flux model, applied in this work on the furnace of a bottom-fired reformer, shows a good agreement with observed plant data. The well-stirred model is still satisfactory but the long-furnace model is far away to merit an attention.
