The solar thermochemical decomposition of CH 4 is carried out in a solar reactor consisting of a cavity-receiver containing an array of tubular absorbers, through which CH 4 flows and thermally decomposes to H 2 and carbon particles. A reactor model is formulated by coupling radiation/convection/con

The initial stages of methane thermal decomposition on the surface of three carbon blacks were studied at 815ยฐC in the pressure range l-8 atm. The reaction rate in the initial stage depends on the properties of the carbon surface. The rate for the graphitized channel black is considerably lower than
A systematic investigation into the growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) on thin metallic films deposited on various substrates was performed. Aluminum-iron-molybdenum multi-layer thin films were deposited on various substrates to determine which substrates promote the growth of SWNTs ov
The origin of autocatalysis in the pyrolysis of methane has been investigated by kinetic modeling. A mechanism is presented that provides good agreement with experimental data a t 1038 K and 433 torr into the autocatalytic region. The main causes of autocatalysis are secondary initiation by hydrocar
