Integrated Combustion Reactors (ICRs) and methods of making ICRs are describ ed in which combustion chambers (or channels) (12) are in direct thermal contac t to reaction chambers for an endothermic reaction (115). Superior results wer e achieved for combustion chambers which contained a gap (18, 19) for free flo w through the chamber. Particular reactor designs are also described. Processe s of conducting reactions in integrated combustion reactors are described and results presented. Some of these processes are characterized by unexpected a nd superior results. |
