Abstract

Mathematical modeling of catalytic steam reforming of methane in a reformer—an apparatus combining a heat exchanger and a reactor—is performed. On the basis of experimental data obtained on an operating reformer, the model is corrected and recommendations for redesigning the reformer are made.
