COMPUTER SIMULATION FOR HYDROGEN PRODUCTION FROM THE STEAM REFORMING OF METHANE

Abstract

This paper presents an one-dimensional isothermal modelling for a CFBMR (H2 permeable). The work has been developed to simulate the SRM to produce H2. The dynamic simulation for molar flow rates of H2 was analyzed in the permeation side and shell side zones at different temperatures at the exit of the proposed system. The model has allowed the validation for the conversion of CH4 by comparing of optimized values. Additionally, the molar flow rates for chemical species CH4, H2O, H2, CO and CO2 were analyzed along of the CFBMR (permeation side and shell side) at different times.
