Abstract

This paper presents an one-dimensional isothermal modelling for a CFBMR (H2 permeable). The work has been developed to simulate the SRM to produce H2. The dynamic simulation for molar flow rates of H2 was analyzed in the permeation side and shell side zones at different temperatures at the exit of the proposed system. The model has allowed the validation for the conversion of CH4 by comparing of optimized values. Additionally, the molar flow rates for chemical species (CH4, H2O, H2, CO and CO2) were analyzed along of the CFBMR (shell side) at t = 14 s, a comparison between permeation side and shell side for H2 and the molar flow rates of H2 in the permeation side and shell side zones at different temperatures.
