Claim 42:
43. A method for producing hydrogen in a water gas shift (WGS) reactor, the method comprising:
flowing a first cooling fluid through a cooling fluid channel defined between a housing of a WGS reactor and a reaction tube disposed in the housing;
flowing a gas comprising carbon monoxide and steam through a reaction channel defined within the reaction tube, in which flowing the gas through the reaction channel comprises:
flowing the gas across a heat transfer material disposed in the reaction channel to transfer heat from the flowing gas to the cooling fluid in the cooling fluid channel; and
flowing the gas across a catalyst disposed in the reaction channel, the catalyst configured to catalyze a hydrogen generation reaction; and

flowing a second cooling fluid through an inner cooling fluid channel defined within an inner tube disposed in the reaction tube.
