Microchannel steam reforming reactors with enhanced heat transfer for conducting simultaneous endothermic and exothermic reactions Junjie Chen Department of Energy and Power Engineering, School of Mechanical and Power Engineering, Henan Polytechnic University, 2000 Century Avenue, Jiaozuo, Henan, 454000, P.R. China Contributor: Junjie Chen, ORCID: 0000-0001-5055-4309, E-mail address: komcjj@gmail.com   It has been described a compact multiple tube steam reformer. The design consists of multiple packed tubes, of small diameter, being placed in intimate contact with a heat generating flame. The arrangement leads to improved heat transfer and therefore chemical conversion. However, the packed tube results in a significant pressure drop and the author states the process is still heat transfer limited. Therefore, a reactor design which minimizes the process side pressure drop and does not suffer from heat transfer limitation is required. It has been described a method to modify a monolithic structure into a combined heat exchanger reactor. The method describes the mechanical process to transform the structure into a structure consisting of two discrete volumes. It is proposed that the arrangement can either be used as a heat exchanger, where energy is transferred from one stream to another via conduction through the wall or it is suitable as a chemical reactor where the second set of channels allow the introduction of a heat transfer fluid. In the second case, the energy required or generated through the reaction is removed via a heat transfer fluid in the second channel. It is noted that the reaction can be a catalytic process and the catalytically active material can be coated onto the monolith passage walls to minimize pressure drop. In this arrangement, the heat transfer from the process catalyst to the dividing wall will be highly efficient, however, the uptake of the energy by the heat transfer fluid will suffer from all of the limitations of traditional heat transfer operations. In this case, the boundary layer will provide a significant resistance to heat transfer and will severely limit the rate of the process. Also, for this arrangement to successfully supply or remove heat and maintain a near isothermal longitudinal profile considerable heat transfer fluid velocities must be utilized. The high velocities will reduce the characteristic thickness of the boundary layer and ensure that a sufficient mass of heat transfer fluid is available to absorb the heat of reaction without significantly changing temperature. These requirements will lead to excessive pressure drop through the coolant channels. Therefore, a reactor design which minimizes the heat transfer fluid side pressure drop is required. The method does not teach about combining endothermic and exothermic reactions on opposing sides of dividing walls of adjacent channels as an efficient method of heat transfer.
