Sorption-enhanced steam methane reforming SE-SMR process

Moreover, the sorption-enhanced steam methane reforming (SE-SMR) process has been proposed to reduce CO2 and CO to a low level and produce almost pure hydrogen [21], which is used as a fuel feed to an MCFC anode. The novel electricity-generation system proposed, which can operate at lower energy consumption and with an almost pure hydrogen feed, is helpful for the performance and lifetime of the MCFC. 

More recently, Solsvik and Jakobsen [140] performed a numerical study comparing several closures for mass diffusion fluxes of multicomponent gas mixtures the Wilke, Maxwell-Stefan, dusty gas, and Wilke-Bosanquet models, on the level of the single catalyst pellet and the impacts of the mass diffusion flux closures employed for the pellet, on the reactor performance. For this investigation, the methanol synthesis operated in a fixed packed bed reactor was the chemical process adopted. In the mathematical modeling study of a novel combined catalyst/sorbent pellet. Rout et al. [121] investigated the performance of the sorption-enhanced steam methane reforming (SE-SMR) process at the level of a single pellet. Different closures...
