Optimal Tube Bundle Arrangements in Side-Fired Methane Steam Reforming Furnaces

Steam methane reforming processes represent the economically most competitive processes for the production of synthesis gas and hydrogen despite their high energy costs. Although there is a strong need for highly resource-efficient production, literature on the optimal design of reformers remains sc...
