Abstract
A reactor and method for the conversion of hydrocarbon gases utilizes a reactor () having a unique feed assembly with an original vortex combustion chamber (), a diverging conduit (), and a cylindrical reactor chamber (). This design creates a compact combustion zone and an inwardly swirling fluid flow pattern of the feed gases to form a swirling gas mixture that passes through a diverging conduit (). The feed streams can be introduced into the reactor at any angle (perpendicular, axial, or something between, or a combination of the above forms) with swirling flow components. This provides conditions suitable for efficient cracking of hydrocarbons, such as ethane, to form olefins.
