ABSTRACT:
Simulation of an auto-thermal ammonia synthesis reactor is our task in this paper. We are
interested mainly in determining the length of the reactor which has a great impact on ammonia
yield. There are many literatures that are interested in Ammonia synthesis reactor but all need
some corrections due to either uncorrected model used, or uncorrected algorithm. We solved it
with the aid of MatLab built in function ODE45 solver in addition to simulated annealing
algorithm (SA) and solved for every 0.0001 m from the reactor length. It is found that no spikes,
no reverse reaction can take place even at higher top temperature of 800 K. the maximum value
of ammonia objective is 5.6635e+006 at optimal reactor length of 6.4253 m.
