Methane autothermal reforming has been studied using comprehensive, detailed microkinetic mechanisms, and a hierarchically reduced rate expression has been derived without apriori assumptions. The microkinetic mechanism is adapted from…
CO2 hydrogenation to hydrocarbon refers to an indirect pathway of CO2 utilization. Among them, the conversion of CO2 with green H2 to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) with high energy density has gained much attention. It offers a promising…
A simple model of the two-state ratchet type is proposed for molecular chemical engines that convert chemical free energy into mechanical work and vice versa. The engine works by catalyzing a chemical reaction and turning a rotor.…
A one dimensional (1-D), isothermal model for a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is presented. This model accounts for the kinetics of the multi-step methanol oxidation reaction at the anode. Diffusion and crossover of methanol are modeled…
Design and operation of advanced reactors such as fuel reformers require reliable micro-kinetic models that capture the dynamics of the reaction. The negative temperature coefficient phenomenon causes a reduction in mixture temperature for…
We develop a one-dimensional mathematical model for the loading process of hydrogen in a metal hydride tank. The model describes the evolution of the density and pressure of the hydrogen gas, the temperature of the tank, the averaged…
Kinetic Monte-Carlo simulation is applied to study the partial oxidation of methane over a nickel catalyst. Based on the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism, the kinetic behavior of this reaction is analyzed and the results are compared with…

Flames can be formed by burning methane (CH4). When oxygen is scarce, carbon particles nucleate into solid particles called soot. These particles emit photons, making the flame yellow. Later, methane is pre-mixed with air forming a blue…
