Simulation of CO preferential oxidation (COPrOx) monolithic reactors

In this work, a COPrOx monolithic reactor with a CuO/CeO 2/Al2O3 catalytic washcoat was modelled to purify a H2 stream for a 2 kW PEM fuel cell. Preliminary simulations included isothermal monoliths operating between 423 and 463 K, and the optimization of linear axial temperature profiles. For a fix...
