Abstract
The use of the hydrogen gas as a fuel for the energy produced by fuel cells is increasingly being studied in several areas. Among techniques of hydrogen production is the dissociation of methane in cold plasma. This work represents the modelling of methane dissociation in radio frequency capacitively coupled plasma by using fluid model, and by considering 21 species (i.e. in total; neutrals, radicals, ions, and electrons) and more than 30 reactions (electronic impact with CH4, neutral-neutral, neutral-ions and surface reactions).
