PSFC/JA-05-13 Plasma Assisted Reforming of Methane II: Partially Stirred Reactor (PaSR) Simulation

PSFC/JA-05-12 Plasma Assisted Reforming of Methane: Two Stage Perfectly Stirred Reactor (PSR) Simulation

Plasmatron fuel converters have been investigated for the conversion of a wide range of fuels. This paper is one of a series describing an experimental and computational study of plasmatron methane reformers. A simple model using a two step process has been proposed for investigating homogeneous reformation of methane using partial oxidation reactions. In the first step, a fraction of the fuel ...

PSFC/JA-05-11 Experimental Investigation of Plasma Assisted Reforming of Methane II: Start-up

This paper is one of a series of papers evaluating the performance of plasmatron methane reformers. An accompanying paper describes the steady state performance of a plasmaassisted reformer operating with methane under partial oxidation conditions. In this paper, the startup performance of plasmatron methane reformers is described.

PSFC/JA-05-10 Experimental Investigation of Plasma Assisted Reforming of Methane I: Steady State Operation

Plasmatron fuel converters have been investigated for the conversion of a wide range of fuels. This paper is one of a series of paper investigating the performance of plasmatron methane reformers. In this paper a systematic experimental investigation is carried out of the reformation of methane in a plasmatron fuel reformer at steady state conditions. The effect upon reformation of flow rate di...

Simulation of Hydrogen Generation from Methane Partial Oxidation in a Plasma Fuel Reformer

2 ABSTRACT A model for the chemistry in a plasma fuel reformer or plasmatron has been developed. The plasma fuel reformer is set up to produce syngas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide gas mixture) from partial oxidation of hydrocarbons. The behavior of methane as fuel has been investigated to characterize and simulate the plasmatron performance. The goal of this work has been improved understanding...
