Resumen

Se formuló la velocidad volumétrica local de absorción de fotones (LVRPA) resolviendo la Ecuación de Transferencia Radiativa (RTE) en coordenadas polares con la aproximación P1 (P1-2D) para la descripción del campo radiante en reactores solares fotocatalíticos cilíndricos. Se formuló una expresión general del LVRPA que puede emplearse en reactores fotocatalíticos cilíndricos con una radiación incidente constante a lo largo de la longitud del reactor. Se utilizaron reactores fotocatalíticos CPC  y  tabulares  como  modelos  de  reactor  y  se  consideró  la  ley del coseno de Lambert (irradiancia) al utilizar las condiciones de contorno. Las simulaciones se realizaron utilizando el TiO2-P25 comercial cuyas propiedades ópticas se tomaron de la bibliografía. Se encontró que el LVRPA disminuye exponencialmente desde la pared del reactor hacia su centro. La velocidad volumétrica de absorción de fotones por unidad de longitud del reactor (VRPA/H) aumentó exponencialmente con la carga de catalizador hasta un valor en el que no se observó un aumento significativo y se encontró que aumentaba con el radio del reactor, información que concuerda con la literatura. La carga óptima de catalizador con el reactor CPC fue de aproximadamente 0,364 g/L con un radio del reactor igual a 1,65 cm, similar a la encontrada en la literatura cuando se utilizó el modelo de seis flujos en dos dimensiones (SFM-2D). El espesor óptico aparente τ_App1 formulado de nuevo con la aproximación P1 se introdujo con fines de optimización y se encontró más fiable que el espesor óptico τ. Este parámetro no sólo elimina la dependencia de la carga óptima de catalizador del radio del reactor, sino también su dependencia del albedo del catalizador. El τ_App1 se encontró alrededor de 9,73 y 14,6 para CPC y reactores tubulares, respectivamente, y proporciona la carga óptima de catalizador y el radio del reactor que optimizan la absorción de radiación dentro de ambos reactores
