The work is devoted to experimental studies and construction of a mathematical model of n-hexadecane (as the simplest diesel surrogate) reforming over Rh/Ce_0.75Zr_0.25O_2-δ-ƞ-Al₂O₃/FeCrAl wire mesh honeycomb catalytic module in auto-thermal reforming (ATR) and steam reforming (SR) modes. Experiments were performed using the scalable catalytic modules with recurrent meshy channeled internal geometrical structure. This provided the accurate reproduction of mass transfer limitations and accompanying homogeneous reactions, thus significantly simplifying the following scale-up procedures. Impossibility to apply simple isothermal reactor models was compensated by application of CFD modelling for reproduction of internal distribution of temperature, fluid velocities and composition inside the catalyst module.

The earlier proposed reaction scheme was supported by additional reactions to account for the formation of light C₂-C₅ hydrocarbons. The proposed model provides good description of both ATR and SR process modes, at the same time demonstrating significant difference between them.

The proposed model may be used for development, scale-up and optimization of catalytic reformers using SR and ATR modes and their combination for processing diesel and similar liquid hydrocarbon fuels.

这项工作是致力于实验研究和正十六烷的数学模型的构造（作为最简单的柴油替代物）重整过的Rh / CE _0.75锆_0.25 ö _2-δ -ƞ-Al系₂ ö ₃/ FeCrAl金属丝网蜂窝催化模块处于自动热重整（ATR）和蒸汽重整（SR）模式。使用具有可重复的网状通道内部几何结构的可扩展催化模块进行了实验。这提供了传质限制​​和伴随的均相反应的准确再现，从而大大简化了后续的放大程序。应用CFD模型补偿了内部温度，流体速度和催化剂模块内部组成的复制，从而无法应用简单的等温反应器模型。

较早提出的反应方案由额外的反应支持，以说明轻质C ₂ -C ₅烃的形成。提出的模型很好地描述了ATR和SR过程模式，同时证明了它们之间的显着差异。

所提出的模型可用于开发，放大和优化使用SR和ATR模式及其组合的催化重整器，以处理柴油和类似液态烃燃料。
