Abstract
Blue World Technologies needed to create a process model to investigate the efficiency and power output of a fuel cell system in which the methanol is reformed. The reformer is an equipment that is inherently hard to model. Using the generic unit operations of the COUSCOUS library integrated in COFE, the exit composition and the energy needed for the process were not estimated as needed. Therefore, Blue World Technologies created a python code to simulate the reformation process. The code contains the reaction kinetics and calculates the energy needed for the reaction to occur. This python code was then integrated in a COFE flowsheet via the CAPE-OPEN Python unit operation provided by AmsterCHEM.
