고온 태양열 화학 반응기에서의 메탄 - 수증기 개질반응 시뮬레이션 = Methane - Steam Reforming Simulation for a High Temperature Solar Chemical Reactor

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Steam reforming of methane in the high temperature solar chemical reactor has advantage in its heating method. Using concentrated solar energy as a heating source of the reforming reaction can reduce the CO2 emission by 20% compared to hydrocarbon fuel.
In this paper, the simulation result of methane-steam reforming on a high temperature solar chemical reactor(SCR) using Fluent 6.3.26 is presented. The high temperature SCR is designed for the Inha Dish-1, a Dish type solar concetrator installed in Songdo city. Basic SCR performance factors are referred to the former researches of the same laboratory. Inside the SCR, porous metal is used for a receiver/reactor. The porous metal is carved like a dome shape on the incident side to increase the heat transfer. Also, ring-disc set of baffle is inserted in the porous metal region to increase the path length. Numerical and physical models are also used from the former researches. Methane and steam is mixed with the same mole fraction and injected into the SCR. The simulation is performed for a various inlet mass flow rate of the methane-steam mixture gas. The result shows that the average reactor temperature and the conversion rate changes appreciably by the inlet mass flow rate of 0.0005 kg/s.
