My notion was that we should use counter current in the jacket because of efficiency but my friend said

 

General reaction cherecterstics. 

Highly exothermic Partial Oxidation.

 

 
Yes, runaway reaction occurs if the reaction is not controlled by a large amount of inert.

 

"The co-current system is often used in industry for example, protection of acid corrosion economizer, temperature cross-over, etc."

 

 

In our case the case of this PBR, the inlet temperature is 150C, but the MP steam temperature is higher than 150C(MP is normally 10~25bar), so is counter current is not possible?

 

Does anyone has any reference or code for this?

It seems strange to use medium pressure steam to cool a reactor. Perhaps you mean condensate?
