What is Baffled-type Thermochemical Reactor for High-efficient Hydrogen Production by Methanol Steam Reforming about?
A baffled-type thermochemical reactor (BTR) for high-efficient hydrogen production by methanol steam reforming (MSR) based on the novel concept of methanol-based solar-driven hydrogen station is proposed and numerically investigated in terms of geometric and operating conditions with a multi-physics coupled model. It is found that the radius of heat-exchanging tube shows a significant impact on hydrogen yield ( Y H 2 ) whereas the radius of heat-exchanging tube array shows little effect. Both the inlet velocity (V in,HTF) and temperature (T in,HTF) of heat transfer fluid (HTF) affect the reactor performance by influencing the heat transfer inside BTR. Excessively higher V in,HTF and higher T in,HTF would promote the side reaction of methanol decomposition (MD) against the main reaction of MSR, which finally decreases Y H 2 . Moreover, it is also found that for each gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) there is a corresponding optimal value of V in, HTF to maximize Y H 2 . Based on this, an optimal operating curve has been obtained via data-fitting, where Y H 2 decreases while the hydrogen production rate ( R H 2 ) increases nonlinearly against GHSV, and the corresponding maximal values
