Performance cont.

← Previous | Next →

The Performance cont. parameter screen is a continuation of the Performance screen, which defines the performance assumptions associated with natural gas reforming. The following parameters are available:

•Primary Reformer:

•Operating Temperature: This parameter defines the operating temperature of the primary reformer.

•Operating Pressure: This parameter defines the operating pressure of the primary reformer.

•CH4 Conversion Rate: This parameter defines the CH4 conversion rate achieved in the primary reformer.

•Air Blower:

•Pressure Increase of Air: This parameter defines the increase in air pressure after passing through the air blower.

•Isentropic Efficiency (%): This parameter compares the actual work done on the air to the ideal, frictionless work required to achieve the same outlet pressure.

•Mechanical Efficiency (%): This parameter accounts for physical friction losses in the blower, such as mechanical seals, bearings, and gears.
