Abstract

This work represents the results of the theoretical study of the distribution of concentration and temperature in porous catalyst, carried out over spherical catalyst pellets for the methane-steam reforming reaction over Ni/MgAl 2O 4 catalyst. Kinetic information has been taken from a recent study [J. Xu, F.G. Froment, AIChE J. (35) (1989) 88–96] for the above reaction. The mass and heat transfer distribution coupled with chemical reaction, outside and within the catalyst particles for methane-steam reforming reaction was estimated in this present study. A computer program was written to calculate both concentration profile and temperature profile for the methane-steam reforming reaction.
