Abstract

This paper represents a comparison study between two fluids methanol and methane, to produce hydrogen from the procedure of steam reforming. Fluent was used for simulations of Methanol and Methane steam reforming. The aim of this work is to show the evolution of heat and mass transfers inside the reactors and their efficiencies. The results showed in the methanol steam reforming part; the consumptions of the main reactant CH3OH and productions of the base element H2. The methanol reformer efficiency is near to 42%, and in the methane steam reforming part; the consumptions of CH4 and productions of H2. Also, the methane reformer efficiency is more than 46%.
