Supplying hydrogen for mobile vehicles is becoming of interest since storing compressed hydrogen in the bottle is not only dangerous but also energy consuming. One way to overcome the drawback is by performing the ethanol steam reforming in situ. In this way, microreactor offers the potential benefit to convert ethanol to hydrogen due to very fast mass and heat transfer. Fluid dynamics inside the microreactors and the kinetic aspects for ethanol steam reforming using Pt/Al2O3 catalyst were investigated with aim to determine the proper microreactor design having uniform fluid distribution and to study the influence of reaction temperature, fluid velocity, and reactor length. It was found that placing an obstacle inside the microreactors in certain position gave more uniform distribution of fluid flow. The reaction temperature and fluid velocity showed their influence on hydrogen productivity.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Compressed hydrogens,Ethanol steam reforming,Mass and heat transfers,Micro channel reactors,Reaction temperature,simulation,Steam reforming of ethanol,Uniform distribution[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Computational fluid dynamic,ethanol steam reforming,kinetic,microchannel reactor,PEMFC,simulation[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1109/ICEECS.2014.7045225[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
