Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) is an emerging technology which was developped for this purpose. Using two reactors, the process avoids the direct mixing of fuel and air. The combustion products are therefore more easily separated and carbon dioxide can be captured for further use or storage. The aim of this thesis is to assess the efficiency of different reactor technologies (bubbling fluidized bed, riser and vortex chamber) for use as CLC units by numerical simulations based on simplified one dimensional (1-D) modelsChemical looping combustionNumerical 1D modellingVortex chamber1-D simulation of chemical looping combustion of methane using different reactor technologiestext::thesis::master thesisthesis:10599
