Abstract
Describes results of a numerical
and experimental study to evaluate the reactant bypass flow in a catalytic
plate reactor with a coated wire mesh catalyst for steam reforming of methane
for hydrogen generation. Bypass of unconverted methane is evaluated under
different wire mesh catalyst width to reactor duct width ratios.
The study improves
the understanding of the underlying transport phenomena in these reactors and
shows that the flow maldistribution in a catalytic plate reactor using a coated
wire mesh has to be considered.
