EFFECT OF QUANTITY OF NICKEL CATALYST ON THE RESULTS OF MODELLING STEAM REFORMING REACTION
The numerical results of modelling of steam-methane reforming process occurring in catalyst with various temperatures were investigated. The solution was received for 3d geometry. Mole distribution of reaction species and temperature field in the catalyst were acquired from the reaction kinetics. Relations of methane conversion and hydrogen yield from the residence time were observed. Authors concluded that for temperatures above 1200K every additional catalyst layer has lesser efficiency.
