Abstract
Abstract
The reforming of methane is an important industrial process, and reactor modeling and simulation is frequently employed as a design and analysis tool in understanding this process. While much research work is devoted to catalyst formulations, reaction mechanisms, and reactor designs, this review aims to summarize the literature concerning the simulation of methane reforming. Applications in industrial practice are highlighted, and the three main approaches to representing the reactions are briefly discussed. An overview of simulation studies focusing on methane reforming is presented. The three central methods for fixed-bed reactor modeling are discussed. Various approaches and modern examples are discussed, presenting their modeling methods and key findings. The overall objective of this paper is to provide a dedicated review of simulation work done for methane reforming and provide a reference for understanding this field and identifying possible new paths.

Abstract
Abstract
The performance of a steam methane reforming (SMR) reactor is optimized by using the theory of finite time thermodynamics in this paper. The maximum hydrogen production rate (HPR) and the corresponding optimal exterior wall temperature (EWT) and the optimal pressure of the reaction mixture (PRM) profiles in the SMR reactor are obtained by using nonlinear programming method. In the optimization process, the fixed inlet mole flow rate of components, the thresholds of the state variables and the conservation equations are taken as the constraints. The performance of the optimal reactor is compared with that of the reference reactor with a linear EWT profile. The results show that the HPR of the optimal reactor increases by about 11.8 %. The optimal EWT profile is alike with the linear EWT profile. The HPR increases with the increase of the inlet temperature of reaction mixture and the decrease of the inlet PRM. The influence of the TRM on the HPR is smaller than that of the PRM. The results obtained herein are helpful to the optimal design of practical tubular reactors.
