Investigation of copper deposition on steel in molten copper chloride
(2018-01-01)
Hydrogen is considered as the most prominent candidate for clean energy generation. The Copper Chloride (Cu-Cl) cycle has been chosen as an effective cycle for production of hydrogen due to its comparatively lower operating ...
Design and evaluation of solar and geothermal energy systems integrated with Cu-Cl cycle
(2020-09-01)
This thesis study proposes solar and geothermal based three multigeneration systems. System 1 consists of a bifacial photovoltaic (BiPV) plant, multi-effect distillation (MED) desalination unit and, proton exchange membrane ...
System integration and optimization of copper-chlorine thermochemical cycle with various options for hydrogen production
(2013-08-01)
The Copper-Chlorine (Cu-Cl) thermochemical water splitting cycle is one of the most attractive alternative thermochemical cycles for clean hydrogen production due to its lower temperature requirement and better overall ...
Analysis of the thermal hydraulics of a multiphase oxygen production reactor in the Cu-Cl cycle
(2016-06-01)
In the thermochemical water splitting process by Cu-Cl cycle, oxygen gas is produced by an endothermic thermolysis process in a three-phase reactor. In this thesis, the required heat for the thermolysis process is provided ...
Development and analysis of a high temperature electrolyser for the Cu-Cl cycle for hydrogen production
(2017-01-01)
A number of thermochemical cycles have been investigated to produce hydrogen from water. However, most of these cycles operate at over 800°C. The relatively lower temperature (550°C) requirement and use of inexpensive ...
