Abstract
AbstractComputer‐aided design (CAD) of a micro‐scale fuel processor is described. Transport phenomena and reaction processes in a methanol steam reformer and a selective carbon monoxide methanator have been mathematically illustrated with a three‐dimensional pseudo‐homogeneous model based on fundamental conservation laws of mass and energy. Simulations provide carbon conversion as well as local temperature distributions in the micro‐scale fuel processors. Various reactor design options were evaluated by such numerical modeling predictions. The tailored temperature profile in the optimized reactor configuration and process conditions give high efficiency in generating low‐CO–content hydrogen‐rich gas stream for miniature fuel cell applications. © 2005 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 51: 982–988, 2005
