Design and Analysis of a Process for Methane to Hydrogen Conversion Using Piston Reactor Technology

The global demand for hydrogen is seeing significant growth mainly because it is a clean energy carrier. This work compares the piston reactor versus conventional flow reactor on the basis of hydrogen production via the partial oxidation route. A piston reactor is essentially a repurposed engine tha...

This work compares the piston reactor versus conventional flow reactor on the basis of hydrogen production via the partial oxidation route.
