Figure 5.9 shows the isooctane conversion profiles for both cases. Surprisingly, these workers came to the conclusion that steam reforming was faster than catalytic combustion within the integrated reactor of case A, which was attributed to mass transfer limitations of isooctane in the microchannel burner, while the steam reforming reaction was controlled by kinetics, according to their calculations [383],... 

FigureS.IO Comparison oftemperature profiles along the reactor length axis as calculated for a microchannel steam reformer with integrated catalytic burner for isooctane combustion (case A) and a microchannel steam reformer supplied with energy from hot combustion gases fed into heating channels (case B) [383] S/C ratio was 3.0 in both cases the air excess was 20% in case A and 94% in case B.

A second generation system, as shown in Figure 5.61. It was composed of a microchannel oxidative steam reformer, which was supplied with water by a humidifier. The humidifier utilised cathode off-gas for humidification. Steam reforming was performed at a S/C ratio of 1.6 and O/C ratio 0.2. The microchannel steam reformer was coupled to an integrated catalytic burner The burner was...
