Apparent kinetics is often used to describe a variety of reactions in the field chemical looping and solar thermochemical processes, yet rigorous analytical methodology for utilizing such has been lacking. The implementation novel approach was exemplified ceria cycle producing hydrogen, specifically H2O-driven oxidation step. H2 production rate equation derived, rearranging apparent from experimental data literature into more suitable form. 1D model integrates heat transfer, fluid dynamics, redox chemistry, providing description directly irradiated receiver–reactor. Model robustness ensured through oxygen mass balance across cycle, comparison against shows high agreement. can be useful simulating cycles using any nonstoichiometric oxide, as ceria-based oxides and, most importantly, oxidation-limited perovskites, which optimizing step terms flow, kinetics, reaction times crucial. proposed applied arbitrarily complex reactor geometries. inherently local nature also allows spatial distributions material’s conversion utilization obtained, paving way optimization strategies reactor’s design operation.
