Study of cracking of methane for hydrogen production using concentrated solar energy

In this study, the cracking phenomenon of methane taking place in a cylindrical cavity of 16 cm in diameter and 40 cm in length under the heat of concentrated solar radiation without any catalyst is analysed. Three cases have been chosen; in all cases the primary phase contains methane and hydrogen gases. In the first case, we consider two phases; the secondary phase is a homogeneous carbon black powder with 50 nm of diameter; in the second case...
