Partial separation of an azeotropic mixture of hydrogen chloride and water and copper (ii) chloride recovery for optimization of the copper-chlorine cycle
(2017-09-01)
An atmospheric-pressure distillation system is designed and constructed to partially separate hydrochloric acid and water. The system concentrates HCl(aq) between the electrolyzer and hydrolysis steps of the Copper-Chlorine ...
Experimental investigation and analysis of a new light-based hydrogen production system
(2014-12-01)
Due to the world’s increasing population and the rising standard of living, global energy demand is expected to keep increasing. The limited nature of fossil fuels and their non-homogenous global distribution along with ...
Experimental investigation and analyses of continuous type hybrid photoelectrochemical hydrogen production systems
(2016-01-01)
Hydrogen is a highly versatile energy carrier that may become one of the key pillars to support the future CO2-free energy infrastructure. When used in fuel cells, H2 is converted to water and it gives little or zero exhaust ...
Investigation of novel ammonia production options using photoelectrochemical hydrogen
(2017-01-01)
Hydrogen and ammonia are two of the most significant clean fuels, energy carriers and storage media in the near future. Production of these chemicals are desired to be environmentally friendly. Renewable energy, in particular ...
Experimental and theoretical investigations of magnesium-chlorine cycle and its integrated systems
(2015-01-01)
This study aims to investigate the feasibility of the Mg-Cl hybrid thermochemical cycle and to develop a more cost and energy effective cycle. There are five key elements of this study: (i) modeling and simulation of the ...
Design, analysis and optimization of novel photo electrochemical hydrogen production systems
(2013-04-01)
Hydrogen is a green-energy carrier with a high heat of combustion. If obtained from renewable sources, it could be the ultimate and environmentally benign solution for the future energy requirements. This thesis presents ...
Design, analysis and experimental investigation of Cu-Cl based integrated systems
(2013-01-01)
Burning fossil fuels for power generation results in emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx), which are harmful to living creatures ...
Kinetics and transport phenomena in the chemical decomposition of copper oxychloride in the thermochemical Cu-CI Cycle
(2012-04-01)
The thermochemical copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle for hydrogen production
includes three chemical reactions of hydrolysis, decomposition and electrolysis. The
decomposition of copper oxychloride establishes the high-temperature ...
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 ...
Conceptual development and analysis of sustainable powering options for hybrid vehicles
(2018-02-01)
Hydrogen and ammonia are the carbon-free fuels that have the potential to replace the fossil fuels in the near future. In addition, they can also act as energy carriers and storage media for many applications; particularly ...
