Integrated Combustion Reactors (ICRs) and methods of making ICRs are described in which combustion chambers (or channels) (12) are in direct thermal contact to reaction chambers for an endothermic reaction (115). Superior results were achieved for combustion chambers which contained a gap (18, 19) for free flow through the chamber. Particular reactor designs are also described. Processes of conducting reactions in integrated combustion reactors are described and results presented. Some of these processes are characterized by unexpected and superior results. |
