本論文係使用甲醇水蒸汽重組法進行全因子實驗，並計算電熱片配合柴油引擎排氣廢熱回收於加熱階段Ⅰ之節能率及加熱階段Ⅱ之廢熱回收率，使用實驗結果求得最大產氫率之參數搭配，並以SIMPLE -C三維數值方法模擬印證實驗結果，找出不同加熱溫度(200、250及300 °C)、水對甲醇莫耳比(0.9、1.1及1.3)與攜帶氣體流率(40、70及100 cm3/min)對產氫率之影響，最後量測並記錄產氫濃度、CO濃度、CO2濃度及N2濃度後，計算其甲醇轉化率、產氫流率及助燃氣體與阻燃氣體的比值。
本重組器加熱熱源來自電熱片及柴油引擎排氣之廢熱，目的是為了將引擎排放之廢熱回收利用，並使重組器內溫度分布更均勻，有利提升甲醇轉換率及富氫氣體率。
本實驗結果顯示，當攜帶氣體流率為40 cm3/min、重組反應溫度為300 °C時，得到最高氫氣產量為0.802 mole/min，相當於1178.94 l/hr。電熱片配合排氣回收廢熱時，最大廢熱回收率於S/C比為1.3、重組反應溫度為300 °C時約13.18 %；最大節能率於重組器由室溫加熱至重組反應溫度為300 °C時約33.51 %。

This thesis is to conduct a full factorial experiment with methanol steam reforming, and to calculate energy saving rate at heating stageⅠand the waste heat recovery rate at heating stageⅡ using electric heating plate and exhaust gas from a diesel engine. The experimental results are used to obtain the parameters at maximum hydrogen production and confirmed with numerical simulation results by a three dimensional SIMPLE-C algorithm. How heating temperature (200 °C, 250 °C, and 300 °C), mole ratio of steam to carbonate S/C (0.9, 1.1, and 1.3), and carrier gas volume flow rate (40 cm3/min, 70 cm3/min, and 100 cm3/min) affect the production of hydrogen is found out. Finally, the hydrogen concentration, the concentration of CO, CO2 concentration, and N2 concentration are measured and recorded to calculate the conversion of methanol, hydrogen flow rate, and assisting combustion gas and impeding combustion gas ratio.
The heat source of this heat reformer comes from electric heating plate and waste heat of exhaust gas from diesel engines. This purpose is to recover waste heat from the engine and to make more uniform temperature distribution within the reformer. It is beneficial to enhance the methanol conversion rate and hydrogen-rich gas production.
Experimental results show that the highest hydrogen production was 19.65 l/min equivalent to 1178.94 l/hr occurring at the volume flow rate of carrier gas of 40 cm3/min and reforming reaction temperature of 300 °C. With the electric heating plate and heat recovered from exhaust gas, the maximum waste heat recovery rate is 13.18 % occurring at S/C of 1.3 and the reforming reaction temperature of 300 °C and the most energy saving rate is 33.51 % approximately existing at the reformer heated from room temperature to the reforming reaction temperature of 300 °C.
