Thermodynamic performance evaluation and experimental study of a Marnoch Heat Engine
(2009-10-01)
The Marnoch Heat Engine (MHE) is a recently patented type of new heat engine that
produces electricity from lower temperature heat sources. The MHE utilizes lower
temperature differences to generate electricity than any ...
Energy, exergy and cost analyses of nuclear-based hydrogen production via thermochemical water decomposition using a copper-chlorine (Cu-CI) cycle
(2008-04-01)
In this thesis the Copper-Chlorine (Cu-CI) thermochemical cycle and its components as well as operational and environmental conditions are defined, and a comprehensive thermodynamic analysis of a Cu-CI thermochemical cycle, ...
Energy, exergy and exergoeconomic analyses of gas-turbine based systems
(2011-12-01)
Gas turbines are the primary technology used for the purpose of power generation nearly everywhere. In this thesis, the Makkah Power Plant, running on a Brayton cycle, is considered for analysis. The peak demand for electric ...
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 ...
Investigation of a hydrogen production process through aluminum and water chemical reaction
(2019-12-01)
