Summary, in English
affected by reformer configurations and properties of involved porous catalyst layers. The
considered composite duct is relevant for a methane steam reformer and consists of a porous
layer for the catalytic chemical reactions, the fuel gas flow duct and solid plate. In this paper,
a fully three-dimensional calculation method is developed to simulate and analyze reforming
reactions of methane, with purpose to reveal the importance of design and operating
parameters. The reformer conditions such as mass balances associated with the reforming
reactions and gas permeation to/from the porous catalyst reforming layer are applied in the
analysis. The results show that the characteristic parameters have significant effects on the
transport phenomena and overall reforming reaction performance.
