Development on pre-heating system for autothermal reformer for fuel cell application

The objective of this research is to investigate the performance of catalytic combustion of hydrogen by using Pt/Al O in different weight loading catalyst ranged from 0.06 to 0.2 gram in assisting the catalytic combustion of methane experimentally. 1 wt% and 3 wt% platinum catalyst used to determ...
