    If you know the feed composition and flow rates entering a reformer, as well as the steam, dry gas composition, pressure and temperature exiting the reformer, you can use carbon and oxygen balancing to calculate the dry gas and steam flow rates exiting the reformer. This allows you to determine the equilibrium temperature and calculate the actual temperature excess (ATE), which is the difference between the exit temperature and equilibrium temperature. The same method can be applied to the high temperature shift reaction as well, where the ATE is the difference between the equilibrium temperature and exit temperature.

    If you know your feed composition and flow rate,

    steam flow, dry gas composition and P(out) and


    T(out) at the reformer outlet, you can calculate dry
    gas flow rate at the reformer outlet by doing
    carbon balance. Once you know dry gas flow rate
    at the reformer outlet you can calculate steam flow
    at the reformer outlet by doing oxygen balance.
    Then you can calculate equilibrium constant for the
    actual steam reformaing reaction, and find T(eq).
    ATE for steam reforming reaction is equal to
    T(out)-T(eq).
    You can apply the same method, basically, to
    calculate ATE for the high temperature shift
    reaction. ATE for shift reaction equals to T(eq)-
    T(out).
