Abstract: The growing demand for low-emission hydrogen production has intensified interest in Tri-Reforming of Methane (TRM) as a promising CO2 utilization pathway. This study presents a multiscale, one-dimensional, steady-state pseudo-homogeneous reactor model developed in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to simulate TRM. The uniqueness of this model is that it incorporates nine primary reactions using a Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson (LHHW) kinetic framework and accounts for transport limitations through overall effectiveness factor calculations, addressing gaps in existing TRM models.
