Question
Efficiency of hydrogen production from carbonaceous sources are compared with overall efficiency which is defined as
n=Lower heat value of the hydrogen/(Higher heat value of feed stock + higher heat value of fuel used for heat)
Lower heat value of the hydrogen
Higher heat value of feed stock + higher heat value of fuel used for heat
Please compare and comment efficiencies of partial oxidation and steam reforming of methane (CH4) based on the information given below. Consider all heat requirement is supplied by
combustion of methane and assume that system is working at steady state at operational temperature.
Partial oxidation
CH4 + ½ 02 →•CO + 2H2
AH°= -36 kJ/mol
Steam reforming
CH4 + H20= C0 + 3 H2
AH°= 205.8 kJ/mol
CO + H20 → CO2 + H2
AH°= -41.2 kJ/mol
Heating values
Hydrogen HHV =-286 kJ/mol
Hydrogen LHV = -242 kJ/mol
Methane HHV =-891 kJ/mol
