title = "Efficient bimetallic catalysts for the autothermal reforming of diesel fuel",
abstract = "Fuel cell requires hydrogen as its fuel source for generating power. Hydrogen for use in auxiliary power units is produced in a fuel processor by the catalytic reforming of hydrocarbons. The objective of this paper is to present an analysis of the autothermal reforming reactions performed on synthetic diesel fuel over different catalysts. Autothermal Reforming (ATR), which is defined as a combination of steam-reforming and partial oxidation reactions blends the endothermic and exothermic reactions in to a single unit. This system provides higher efficiency than other conventional processes and also a simple system design. The product composition as a function of the operating variables was studied. The stability of the catalyst and its response to the sulfur poison was investigated over various catalysts. Bimetallic catalysts exhibited superior performance compared to the commercial catalyst. A mechanism for this behavior is proposed.",
