Methanol reforming is considered as a promising candidate for hydrogen production because of its advantages in many ways. Conventional reformers of packed-bed catalyst suffer from severe limitations of mass and heat transfer. These disadvantages result in a low catalyst effectiveness factor in...

Thermoelectric (TE) generator converts heat to electric energy by thermoelectric material. However, heat removal on the cold side of the generator represents a serious challenge. To address this problem and for improved energy conversion, a thermoelectric generation process coupled with methanol...
