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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Development and assessment of integrated energy systems with ammonia synthesis and fuel cells
(2020-12-01)
