Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Spatially resolved species and temperature profiles have been measured for the catalytic partial oxidation of CH4 on autothermally operated Rh-coated α-Al2O3 foams in both steady state and transient mode. A probe consisting of a thin quartz capillary and a thermocouple was moved with sub-mm resolution through the catalyst/heat shield stack to sample the gases into a mass spectrometer and measure temperature. The probe was also used to follow the relaxation of the system upon perturbation by stepping the stoichiometry of the reactants periodically. The spatial profiles in steady state show that H2 and CO are formed in presence of gas phase oxygen (oxidation zone) and after total oxygen conversion by steam reforming (reforming zone). The stepwise change of the reactant stoichiometry in the transient experiments allowed decoupling chemistry (ms timescale) and temperature (s timescale). By exposing a catalyst, initially operating very hot at C/O=0.6, suddenly to a CH4 rich feed (C/O=1.4), it was possible to follow how the integral H2 and CO production rates decrease with decreasing temperature of the catalyst. The reverse switch from C/O=1.4 to 0.6 showed how the integral H2 and CO production rates increased with increasing temperature of the catalyst. Differential reaction rates were obtained by performing these transients spatially resolved at two adjacent points in the catalyst. For C/O=0.6→1.4, H2 and CO formation show a strict linear Arrhenius behavior over the entire temperature range from ∼1100 to ∼600∘C. For C/O=1.4→0.6, the Arrhenius plots show two straight segments, a steep increase in the formation rate from ∼630 to ∼710∘C and a weak increase from ∼725 to ∼1000∘C. In both cases, H2 formation is more activated than CO formation indicating two different rate determining steps.
