Thermodynamic analysis of methane dry reforming

It is well known that methane (a natural gas that is abundantly available) can be reacted with carbon dioxide to produce synthesis gas (a mixture of hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide). Syngas may be converted to gasoline-grade fuels via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis since the petrochemicals in the world...
