Mathematical modeling of endothermic reactions in the catalyst unit with structured catalytic beds

Prospects of engine building transformation to the hydrogen-containing fuel

“…The developed system for onboard generation of hydrogen rich gas and its application as additive to primary fuel is principally different from hythane-based technical solutions reported in literature [9][10][11][12]. Since hythane fuel (methane 80%, hydrogen 20%) has fixed composition which can't be changed depending on ICE operation mode, it fails to use hydrogen advantages as fuel additive.…”

Simulation and experimental analysis on the development of a co-axial cylindrical methane steam reformer using an electrically heated alumite catalyst

“…Many reviews on steam reforming of hydrogen discuss the conventional process, which is carried out on supported Ni catalysts in multitubular reactors operated at temperatures and pressures ranging from 773 K (inlet) to 1073 K (outlet) and from 20 to 40 bar, respectively, and a mole ratio of steam and CH 4 (S/C) in the feed of 2-4 [1][2][3]. However, this process suffers from several drawbacks, such as a poor heat transfer coefficient for the catalyst bed, diffusion limitations, a large pressure drop and a large volume size.…”

Numerical investigations on the development of plate reformers: Comparison of different assignments of the chambers

“…To deal with the above problems, structured catalytic reactors have been extensively investigated. The plate catalysts were reported in various preparation methods, such as a plasma method of active metal powder on a metal carrier, pressing an active phase on a heat‐conducting carrier 6, 7. Especially, the anodization technology of the Al plate to reform a more constructive catalyst carrier was reported in reaction systems such as volatile organic compound combustion and selective catalytic reduction of NO x , etc 8, 9.…”
