Methane decomposition is a key process for the production of high-purity hydrogen. Among various reactor configurations, an aerosol flow reactor utilizing concentrated solar energy is considered a highly suitable option for this process. In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods were employed to investigate methane decomposition in an aerosol flow reactor, incorporating gas flow dynamics, chemical reaction mechanisms, heat transfer via radiation and convection, and discrete-phase interactions. Developing a generalized model that accurately describes the decomposition process and provides reliable predictive data is of critical importance.CFDmodeling offers an effective approach for simulating such complex reactions, enabling faster and more precise predictions. To enhance the accuracy of the model, experimental and theoretical data from previous studies on methane decomposition in an aerosol quartz reactor were utilized. The improved CFD model accounts for methane decomposition rates and simulates the distribution of decomposition products, including hydrogen
