Özet:

 


In
this study, a compact heat exchanger type steam reformer has been modelled for
solid oxide fuel cells fed by natural gas. The commercial CFD code COMSOL
Multiphysics has been used for modelling the steam reformer. It has been
considered that the heat for the endothermic catalytic reactions in the steam
reforming processes is gained from the hot exhaust gases of the solid oxide
fuel cell. Thus it has been modelled that these hot gases flow through one side
of the heat exchanger. In the other side of the heat exchanger, there is a
catalyst area in which the mixture of steam and methane mixture flows through.
This area has been modelled as a porous medium because of the catalyst
particles. It is shown that hydrogen yield at the exit of the steam reformer
and the change of amount of the hydrogen yield are strongly connected with
various model parameters.
