  "textContent": "The present invention relates to methods for gas phase reactant catalytic reactions. In particular the present invention relates to a method of hydrocarbon steam reforming, comprising: passing a reactant stream comprising steam and hydrocarbon into at least one reaction chamber; wherein the reaction chamber has an internal volume having dimensions of chamber height, chamber width and chamber length; wherein the chamber has a length of greater than 1 cm; wherein the chamber height or chamber width is 2 mm or less; wherein the reaction chamber is in thermal contact through a reaction chamber wall with an exothermic reaction chamber; transferring heat from the exothermic reaction chamber to the reaction chamber through the reaction chamber wall at a rate such that heat flux between the reaction chamber and the exothermic reaction chamber is at least 0.6 W per cubic centimeter of the reaction chamber wall; wherein the method is controlled under conditions such that the hydrocarbon has a contact time of less than 300 ms; wherein the reactant stream is converted to a product stream; and wherein at least 70% of the equilibrium conversion of the hydrocarbon entering the reaction chamber is converted to hydrogen, carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide.",
