Investigation and modeling of ethanol ,methanol and heptane autothermal reformer to generate hydrogen

At present study a packed bed reactor is utilized to analyze, in which autothermal reforming of ethanol, methanol and heptan occurs to produce sufficienthydrogen for generating 100W of power. The pressure drop is modeled via the Ergun equation and the effect of inlet pressure on the production ofhydrogen is negligible. The reformer operates non isothermally. Simulations are coded to resolve the effect of process parameters such as steam tomethanol ratio, inlet pressure, inlet temperature, on the production of hydrogen. There is similar resolution between the simulation results
