Investigation of sustainable hydrogen production from steam biomass gasification
(2010-12-01)
Hydrogen is a by-product of the gasification process and it is environmentally friendly with respect to pollution and emission issues when it is derived from a CO2-neutral resource such as biomass. It is an energy carrier ...
Thermodynamic performance assessment of three biomass-based hydrogen production systems
(2010-04-01)
Hydrogen is likely to be an important energy carrier in the future. It can be produced by the steam reforming of natural gas, coal gasification and water electrolysis among other processes. However current processes are ...
Experimental investigation of an R134a based organic Rankine cycle
(2011-08-01)
This thesis research aims to develop an improved, efficient, low-capacity heat engine, running
on an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) to generate power. The ORC is driven by low or
moderate temperature heat sources, such as; ...
Energy ans exergy analysis of biomass co-firing in pulverized coal power generation
(2011-04-01)
Biomass co-firing with coal exhibits great potential for large scale utilization of biomass
energy in the near future. In the present work, energy and exergy analyses are carried out
for a co-firing based power generation ...
Energy and exergy analyses of biomass cogeneration systems
(2012-08-01)
Biomass cogeneration systems can generate power and process heat simultaneously from
a single energy resource efficiently. In this thesis, three biomass cogeneration systems are
examined. Parametric analysis of back pressure ...
Development and analysis of a new direct steam generation-based parabolic trough collector power plant hybridized with a biomass boiler
(2016-10-01)
Direct steam generation (DSG) is the process by which steam is directly produced in parabolic trough fields and supplied to a power block. This process simplifies parabolic trough plants and improves cost effectiveness by ...
