Global demand for alternative renewable energy sources is increasing due to the consumption of fossil fuels and the increase in greenhouse gas emissions. Hydrogen (H) from biomass gasification is a green energy segment among the alternative options, as it is environmentally friendly, renewable, and sustainable. Accordingly, researchers focus on conducting experiments and modeling the reforming reactions in conventional and membrane reactors. The construction of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models is an essential tool used by researchers to study the performance of reforming and membrane reactors for hydrogen production and the effect of operating parameters on the methane stream, improving processes for reforming untreated biogas in a catalyst-fixed bed and membrane reactors. This review article aims to provide a good CFD model overview of recent progress in catalyzing hydrogen production through various reactors, sustainable steam reforming systems, and carbon dioxide utilization. This article discusses some of the issues, challenges, and conceivable arrangements to aid the efficient generation of hydrogen from steam reforming catalytic reactions and membrane reactors of bioproducts and fossil fuels.
由于化石燃料的消耗和温室气体排放的增加，全球对替代可再生能源的需求正在增加。生物质气化产生的氢气（H）是替代能源中的一个绿色能源领域，因为它环保、可再生且可持续。因此，研究人员专注于进行实验和模拟常规和膜式反应器中的重整反应。构建计算流体动力学（CFD）模型是研究用于生产氢气的重整和膜式反应器的性能以及操作参数对甲烷流的影响的重要工具，从而改进在催化剂固定床和膜式反应器中对未经处理的沼气进行重整的工艺。本文旨在提供一个良好的 CFD 模型综述，介绍通过各种反应器、可持续的蒸汽重整系统和二氧化碳利用来催化制氢的最新进展。本文讨论了一些问题、挑战和可以想象的安排，以帮助从蒸汽重整催化反应和生物制品和化石燃料的膜式反应器中高效地产生氢气。
