Kinetics of methane steam reforming for hydrogen production has been studied through experiment in a micro-channel reactor over coating catalyst. The catalyst coating prepared by cold spray on stainless steel substrate is based on a mixture of Ni-Al oxides which is normally employed in industry for methane primary steam reforming. Two kinetic laws namely parallel as well as inverse models have been derived at atmospheric pressure, and power law type kinetics have been established using non-linear least squares optimization. With the above kinetics, simulation study has been carried out to find...
