approximately 1400°C, but adding a catalyst (catalytic POX or CPOX) can reduce
this temperature to as low as 870°C. Combining steam reforming closely with
CPOX is termed autothermal reforming (ATR). The type of fuel processing
method employed depends on the following features: (1) choice of commercially
available fuels suitable for specic applications, (2) fuel exibility, (3) catalyst
tolerance, (4) fuel cell size, and (5) vaporization of heavy hydrocarbons. Heavy
hydrocarbons, such as diesel, require vaporization temperatures much in excess
of 350 to 400°C, at which temperature some of the heavier fuels pyrolyze.
A general equation given below describes fuel conversion from steam ref-
ormation to the PO ...
