Thermal decomposition of methane is a suitable and eco-friendly way to simultaneously produce hydrogen and carbon black. A parametric study is made on a two-dimensional model of methane thermal decomposition reactor. This modelling attaches utmost importance in the radiation phenomenon and particle population evolution.
