摘要: Velocity uniformity in reaction channels has a significant effect on the performance of laminated microreactors with micro-pin-fin arrays (MPFAR) for hydrogen production. The production efficiency can be improved by optimizing structure flow manifolds. relationship between manifold and velocity distribution channel MPFAR is established an equivalent electrical resistance network model validated via simulation. effects are investigated. results show that increasing y-direction coordinate Ypi inlet tube. optimized better different widths.
