In this study, 1D and 2D steady-state modeling of exhaust gas reforming of natural gas in a catalytic fixed-bed reactor were conducted under different conditions. With increasing engine speed, methane conversion and hydrogen production increased. Similarly, increasing the fraction of recirculated exhaust gas resulted in higher consumption of methane and generation of H2 and CO. Steam addition enhanced methane conversion. However, when the amount of steam exceeded that of methane, less hydrogen was produced. Increasing the wall temperature increased the methane conversion and reduced the H2/CO ratio. © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
