Abstract:
In today's scenario of pollution world there is a need to produce fuels which do less pollution like Hydrogen. Methane reforming in membrane reactor is one of the processes to produce ultra pure hydrogen (99.999%). Today it is one of the fields in which many researchers are paying attention to. In my present work, model equations for Steam reforming of methane in a Pd/SS membrane reactor based on axial dispersion model an PFR assumptions are developed. Model equations are developed for key components and solved them through MATLAB 7. Various parameters affecting the conversions of CH4, CO2, and permeation of I-I2 are calculated for a wide range of their availability. After the study it is always recommended that care has to be taken while designing process strategy as temperature and steam to methane ratio are affecting greatly the conversion. And it is also recommended to conduct this Reaction. Scheme in a membrane reactor which can perform close to Ideal reactor model
