Abstract:Palladium membrane reactors have the potential to achieve higher conversion as well as larger recovery of purified hydrogen in the steam reforming reaction, even at lower temperatures. However, increasing feed rate resulted in larger deviation from the ideal analytical model assuming plug flow and isothermal conditions. This study developed a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model, which takes into account the concentration, temperature and velocity distributions due to mass, heat transfer and flow resistanc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
