✦ Synopsis

The kinetics of methanol-steam reformation were studied in an idealized tube reactor and a non-ideal internal reforming fuel cell. Methanol conversion in the IRFC was significantly less than in an ideal plug flow reactor, but for higher current densities the IRFC requires less catalyst.
