Abstract

Kinetic modeling Hydrogen technology Membrane reactor Palladium membrane Hydrogen diffusion Hydrogen
This work explores how the hydrogen flux across dense solid membranes, determined via kinetic modeling, depends on the accuracy of input parameters. Hydrogen flux across a palladium membrane was calculated over the 95% confidence interval of a set of transport barriers from literature and compared to published experimental results, thus determining bounds on the accuracy of the predicted flux. The mean values for the transport barriers resulted in a calculated flux that fit the experimental data well for temperatures above 623K, and the experimental flux fell within the range of calculated flux for all temperatures measured. Predictions from the kinetic modeling were found to become more sensitive to differences in transport barrier as pressure drop across the membrane increases, demonstrating the importance of careful measurement of hydrogen pressure.
