The three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was used in a sleeve type steam methane reforming (SMR) reactor for H-2 production of 2.5 Nm(3)/h from natural gas. The feed and combustion gases acted as a counter-current heat exchange owing to a narrow sleeve equipped between the combustor and catalyst-bed. The CFD results were validated against the experimental data of the SMR reactor with a sleeve gap size of 3 mm. The effect of the sleeve gap size and the flame shape on process performances such as H-2 production rate, thermal efficiency, and uniformity of catalyst-bed temperature was investigated using the CFD model. The sleeve gap size influenced the gas velocity inside the sleeve gap and the convective heat transfer. The SMR reactor with a sleeve gap size of 7 mm showed the highest H-2 production rate and thermal efficiency when comparing six sleeve gap sizes ranging from 2 to 10 mm. A new flame shape for the SMR reactor with the sleeve gap size of 7 mm was proposed to improve the process performances. (C) 2018 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
