PSFC/JA-04-22 Hydrogen-Rich Gas Production from Plasmatron Reforming of Biofuels

I. INTRODUCTION Throughout the world it may be economically possible to cultivate crops that can be harvested for the manufacturing of biofuels that could potentially have a significant impact result in reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. Use of renewable fuels such as bio-fuels can also reduce the US dependence on foreign energy sources. Plasma enhanced reforming is a promising approach fo...

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

Plasmatron fuel converters have been investigated for the conversion of a wide range of fuels. This paper is a series of papers describing an experimental and computational study of plasmatron methane reformers. This paper presents a model that uses limited mixing and chemical kinetics to investigate the plasma assisted reforming of natural gas. The Partially Stirred Reactor (PaSR) model from t...

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...
