Thermal Self-Sufficient Operation of Hydrogen Production from Used Vegetable Oil

This work aims to investigate the hydrogen production from used palm oil and used soybean oil through autothermal reforming (ATR). Thermodynamics analysis of this process was performed by using Aspen plus V9 simulation software. The gas compositions at equilibrium were calculated by using the Gibbs...
