Many authors mention the use of micro reactors for fuel processing as one of the most promising fields [1,104]. Wegeng et al. point at using this micro-fuel processing for transportation [Ij. The placement of reformers imder the hood of an automobile for converting liquid hydrocarbons to hydrogen is explicitly mentioned.

Due to the operating requirements of PEM stack technology, shift reactors and a carbon monoxide removal step are required to produce reformate of sufficient quality. Similarly, the stack operating temperature and its humidity requirements require a water management system as well as radiators for heat rejection. Some developers are developing pressurized systems to the benefit from higher reactant partial pressures on both anode and cathode. Fuel processing for PEM APU systems is identical to that needed in residential power or propulsion applications.

The necessary fuel processing of natural gas or other hydrocarbons and coal before its use in the SOFC changes the system design. The following investigations have been done for methane as the main component of natural gas to keep the calculations simple. A common type of fuel processing for hydrocarbons is the endothermic steam reforming process as shown for methane in Equation (2.105) with the heat demand Equation (2.106)...
