Abstract
A method for studying high-temperature tubular reactors (combustion reactors) is outlined in the paper. The method is based on the comparison of two characteristic velocities—the reactant supply rate and the combustion wave propagation rate over a moving medium (the kinematic balance method). The possibilities of the method are illustrated by an example of analysis of stationary and nonstationary states of a filtration combustion reactor. The peculiarities of reactor behaviour are considered in connection with the change of its geometric and regime parameters, as well as with the variation of physico-chemical and structural characteristics of reactants and product.
