✦ Synopsis

The simulation of a steam/CO 2 reformer is based upon detailed intrinsic kinetics of reforming, including those of carbon deposition and -gasification. The internal diffusion limitations are accounted fot through the modeling. The influence of the steam/methane and the CO 2 /methane ratio on the synthesis gas production and composition and on the net rate of carbon formation is illustrated.
