Abstract

This work deals with the performance of water less partial oxidation (POX) based catalytic reformer system fed by different liquid fuels including ethanol, gasoline, hexadecane, synthetic JP8, kerosene and diesel for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) applications. The effect of different fuel components on product composition was studied and the operational parameters were optimized to provide a stable reforming performance. The system provided negligible pressure drop combined with the simpler system design due to the lack of water requirement making the POX reformer a lighter, cheaper and more competitive choice for SOFC applications.
