11.11 Liquid petroleum gas (LPG) is a mixture of gases primarily composed of propane (C3H3(g)), butane (C4H10(g)), or both. LPG is a common fuel for remote locations and for back-up energy systems. (a) What is the overall steam reforming equation for propane fuel? What is the steam-to-carbon ratio? What is the maximum hydrogen yield? If the water gas shift reaction followed the steam reforming reaction in series, what would be the maximum hydrogen yield? 20 FUEL PROCESSING SUBSYSTEM DESIGN (b) How does this value for maximum hydrogen yield compare with the maximum hydrogen yield for the partial oxidation of propane in air reaction that is similar to the reaction shown in Equation 11.13? If the water gas shift reaction followed this partial oxidation reaction in series, what would be the maximum hydrogen yield and how would this value compare to the other maximum hydrogen yield values calculated here?
