For methane, the change in enthalpy for the above reaction is zero when y is equal to 1.115.
The primary benefit s of the AR are:
1. its high thermal efficiency (as a result of combining reactions),
2. its compactness (as a result of avoiding a separate combustion stream to provide heat as with a
steam reformer), and
3. its rapid start up and quick load following (as a result of combining reactions).
The primary disadvantage is its lower hydrogen yield, only 42–48% hydrogen content in the output
gas stream (dry basis), as compared with SR which produces 75–80% hydrogen (dry basis). The low
hydrogen yield results from the intake of nitrogen, which dilutes ...
