AnnotationThe paper presents the results of numerical simulation of the process of ethane pyrolysis in a cylindrical reactor under the influence of laser radiation. The mathematical model is based on the Navier-Stokes system of equations in the approximation of small Mach numbers in a cylindrical coordinate system and is complemented by the kinetic scheme of ethane pyrolysis and the equation of laser radiation transfer taking into account ethylene absorption. A series of computational experiments was carried out at different wall temperatures. It is shown that laser radiation makes it possible to reduce the wall temperature by 100-150^ for the pyrolysis of ethane. It was found that at moderate wall temperatures of 1073 K and the presence of laser radiation, the accumulation of ethylene as a target product is achieved.
