Underline Curiosity concerning Hydrogen Production

It is a bit weird that nobody knows the prescience and the realism of renewable energies especially in developing countries.

What about countries that mine cobalt for electric vehicles and other products. I do hope they follow the environmental guidelines especially since the demand for electric cars are high lately.

For some reason, I just believe there is more we can do with natural gas and hydrogen gas. I decided to simulate a water-gas shift reaction (WGSR) and denote which reactor was the best. I also couldn’t use a CSTR, PFR and a Batch reactor — so many variables needed — pre-exponential factor, length and diameter of the reactor, and others.

The reaction is basic and hydrogen gas can be produced using this method:

CO(g) + H2O(g) ←> CO2(g) + H2(g)

Using the standard operating conditions and inserting an equal amount of reactants, I think your best bet is either to use an equilibrium reactor or a Gibbs reactor based on these results from Aspen Plus.

I wonder if I will get the same results if I use another software.
