Mathematical modeling and simulation analysis of the dimethyl ether steam reforming reaction system were carried out in the study. The numerical results of simulation and experiment were consistent. The effects of reaction conditions on the conversion of dimethyl ether and hydrogen production were analyzed. The internal structure of the reforming reactor was adjusted to obtain higher hydrogen production efficiency. The study established the reforming hydrogen production industry system, and analyzed the thermal efficiency of the system. The results show that when the temperature of the conversion bed is 673 K, the inlet flow rate of the mixture gas is 0.5 ms−1 and the ratio of water to ether is 3, the dimethyl ether steam reforming reaction system could obtain the dimethyl ether conversion rate of 90%, the hydrogen production rate of 88% and system thermal efficiency of 74%.
