| Research Abstract |
These days, fuel cell systems, which prefer hydrogen rather than other species as a fuel, has attracted much attention. Although the hydrogen may be produced using natural energy in future, the reforming of fossil fuel continues to be the major method for production of hydrogen for a while. One of the candidates is the steam reforming of dimethyl ether which consists of two consecutive steps. In this research, we separated the reactions to comprehend the mechanism with experiment in which the rate equations were obtained. Moreover, those reaction rates were utilized for the control and optimization in a reformer.
