Referring to fig. 1-3, an alcohol reforming micro-reactor comprises an evaporation plate 1, a middle partition plate 2 and a reforming plate 3 which are sequentially overlapped from top to bottom, wherein an evaporation chamber 4 is formed between the evaporation plate 1 and the middle partition plate 2, a reforming chamber 5 is formed between the middle partition plate 2 and the reforming plate 3, an outlet of the evaporation chamber 4 is communicated with an inlet of the reforming chamber 5, a hydrogen production catalyst is loaded on the reforming chamber 5, the evaporation chamber 4 and the reforming chamber 5 are both composed of a snake-shaped straight micro-channel 6, a heating element 7 is further arranged on the reforming plate 3, a temperature thermocouple 8 is arranged on the middle partition plate 2, the snake-shaped straight micro-channel 6 is composed of a plurality of straight-line channel sections 601 which are sequentially connected end to end and are parallel to each other, a butyl cell 9 is arranged on the straight-line channel section 601, and hereinafter, the micro-channel of the type is simply called as a snake-shaped straight micro-channel 6 (DMD) with the butyl cell 9.
In this embodiment, on the basis of the serpentine straight micro-channel 6, the structure of the t cell 9 is additionally designed, and the t cell 9 is a protrusion and a recess which are regularly or irregularly arranged and sized and designed in the channel, compared with the straight micro-channel, the t cell 9 increases the heat exchange area, and the local boundary layer instability phenomenon of the fluid is caused by the formation of vortex and secondary flow, in addition, the special t cell 9 structure can also improve the heat exchange capability, but the resistance coefficient is only slightly increased or even reduced, as shown in fig. 5, the thermal mass transportation process of the micro-channel is enhanced, and the hydrogen production performance of the micro-channel reactor is further improved.
Referring to fig. 2, in particular, insertion holes penetrated by heating elements 7 such as industrial heating rods may be formed on the reforming plate 3, and heat generated by energizing the heating elements 7 may be conducted to the evaporation chamber 4 and the reforming chamber 5 through the reforming plate 3 and the middle partition plate 2, so as to provide a suitable reaction temperature for each process of the hydrogen production reaction; similarly, a jack for inserting the temperature thermocouple 8 can be arranged on the middle partition plate 2, and the reaction temperature can be measured through the temperature thermocouple 8 and fed back to the heating element 7 in real time. Of course, the heating element 7 may also be arranged on the evaporation plate 1 and/or the middle partition 2, and the temperature thermocouple 8 may also be arranged on the evaporation plate 1 and/or the reforming plate 3.
It can be understood that in practical design, a plurality of butyl cells 9 are uniformly arranged on each straight line runner section 601, the length x width x height of the evaporating plate 1 and the reforming plate 3 are 90mm x 10mm, the micro-runners are formed by carving continuous grooves on the evaporating plate 1 and the reforming plate 3, the length x width x depth of each straight line runner section 601 is 50mm x 1mm x 2mm, the distance between two adjacent straight line runner sections 601 is 1mm, 26 butyl cell 9 structural parameters are as follows: the radius x depth of the notch of each butyl cell 9 is 0.6mm x 0.2mm, 5 butyl cells 9 are equidistantly distributed on each straight line runner section 601, and the middle butyl cell 9 is positioned at the center of the straight line runner section 601, and the distance is 10mm. Specifically, the hydrogen production catalyst is coated on the micro-channel, and a copper-based catalyst or a copper-based oxygen carrier and other catalysts can be adopted.
Referring to fig. 4, in other embodiments, the evaporation chamber 4 and the reforming chamber 5 are each composed of a serpentine corrugated microchannel 10 (SM), the serpentine corrugated microchannel 10 being composed of a plurality of sinusoidal corrugated segments 101 connected end to end in sequence and parallel to each other. In this embodiment, on the basis of the serpentine straight micro-channel 6, sine waves are additionally designed: the sine ripple design converts the straight micro-channel into a ripple micro-channel; related researches show that compared with a straight micro-channel, cold and hot fluid in the sinusoidal micro-channel has extremely strong mixing effect, and the internal fluid of the sinusoidal micro-channel has unstable flow along with the formation of separation flow and oscillation flow; in summary, the special sine ripple structure can greatly improve the heat exchange capacity of the micro-channel, but the resistance coefficient is little increased, as shown in fig. 5, the thermal mass transportation process of the micro-channel is enhanced, and the hydrogen production performance (hydrogen atom utilization rate, hydrogen relative concentration and hydrogen yield) of the micro-channel reactor is further improved.
Referring to fig. 6, the simulation cloud chart of the section density and the temperature distribution of the corrugated micro-channel provided by the embodiment can be seen that the mechanism of sine corrugation enhanced heat and mass transfer can be summarized as follows: the special corrugated structure can enable the fluid to continuously change the flowing direction, directly conduct periodic mixing of the cooling fluid and the hot fluid, and particularly, the periodic transverse offset of the density and the temperature distribution is shown in fig. 6, so that the temperature distribution of the fluid is more uniform, the heat exchange temperature difference between the fluid and the constant temperature heating wall surface is increased, the heat exchange between the fluid and the constant temperature heating wall surface is further enhanced, but the friction between the fluid and the wall surface is increased, and the resistance coefficient is correspondingly increased. The cloud image in fig. 6 is taken from 5 different sections (i.e., 5 sections where the butyl cell may exist in the micro flow channel) on the same flow channel perpendicular to the flow direction, and is divided into x=0 mm, x=10 mm, x=20 mm, x=30 mm, and x=40 mm according to the flow direction and the position.
In a practical design, a plurality of butyl cells 9 may be provided on each sinusoidal wave segment 101 along the extending direction thereof, so as to form a serpentine wave micro-channel 10 (SMD) with the butyl cells 9. As shown in fig. 5, in this embodiment, by adding the t cell 9 structure into the serpentine corrugated micro-channel, even the drag reduction effect of the t cell 9 occurs, the heat exchange capability and the flow capability of the reactor can be simultaneously improved.
Referring to fig. 7, it can be seen from fig. 7 that vortex cores are mainly distributed at the inlet, outlet, corners and the butyl cells, i.e., in the micro-channel, these regions generate larger vorticity, belonging to the dense vorticity region. At the same time, this also means that there are a large number of secondary flows and vortices in these areas, so that the heat exchange is greatly enhanced and the drag coefficient is also increased.
Referring to fig. 8-11, the direction of gas flow in the inlet, outlet and corner regions is changed by 90 degrees, and the gas has a great scouring effect on the surrounding wall surfaces, so that the relative speed is greatly improved locally. And meanwhile, under the action of inertia, secondary flow or backflow can be generated in a local area, and the heat exchange intensity at the inlet, outlet and corner is higher than that at other places, so that a large number of vortex cores can be identified. In the case of the butyl cell structure, the formation of large vortex in the butyl cell structure can be directly observed in fig. 11, and the flow presents an irregular unstable form, which is also an embodiment of the mechanism of the butyl cell enhanced heat and mass transfer.
Specifically, sine ripple structural parameters: each sine wave section 101 has the width x depth of 1mm x 2mm, the waveform is a complete sine wave, the sine wave period is 50mm, the sine wave amplitude is 6.5% of the row period, the distance between two adjacent sine wave sections 101 is 1mm, 24 sine wave sections are 24 sine wave sections, and the structure parameters of the butyl cell 9 are as follows: the radius x depth of the notch of each butyl cell 9 is 0.8mm x 0.4mm, 3 butyl cells 9 are equidistantly distributed on each sine wave section 101, and the middle butyl cell 9 is positioned at the center of the sine wave section 101, and the distance is 15mm.
It can be understood that, in practical applications, the micro-channels of the evaporation chamber 4 and the reforming chamber 5 that constitute the alcohol reforming micro-reactor may be selected from any one of the serpentine straight micro-channel 6 (DMD) with the butyl cell 9, the serpentine corrugated micro-channel 10 (SM), and the serpentine corrugated micro-channel 10 (SMD) with the butyl cell 9, which are not described herein.
In the hydrogen production method using the alcohol reforming micro-reactor of the above embodiment, firstly, the aqueous methanol solution enters from the inlet of the evaporation chamber 4, absorbs heat while changing the flow in the corrugated micro-channel with the butyl cell 9, and evaporates to form mixed steam; then, the mixed steam enters a reforming chamber 5, alcohol reforming reaction is carried out in a straight micro-channel under the catalysis of a Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst, hydrogen is generated, the on-site hydrogen production of methanol steam reforming is realized, and the plates are sealed by high-temperature resistant fluorine rubber rings. By utilizing the relation of hydrogen production performance of the alcohol reforming micro-reactor provided by the embodiment, as shown in fig. 12, the reaction conditions are that the flow rate of N2, the reaction temperature, the S/C molar ratio, the feeding flow rate of methanol aqueous solution and the coating amount of Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst are respectively 10mL/min, 210 ℃, 1.2, 0.005mL/min and 0.200g, the micro-channels forming the evaporation chamber 4 are all in the form of DMD, the micro-channels forming the reforming chamber 5 are respectively in the form of DM, DMD, SM and SMD, no CO is generated in the experimental process, and as can be seen from fig. 12, the micro-channels forming the reforming chamber 5 are in the form of SMD, and the hydrogen production effect is the worst by adopting the conventional DM-type flow channel, which further proves that the reactor provided by the application has excellent hydrogen production effect.
