Development of a new integrated sustainability assessment model for energy systems
(2017-07-01)
This thesis presents a novel and comprehensive sustainability assessment model for energy systems. The model features an integrated approach and encompasses various multi-disciplinary areas of study, which influence energy ...
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 ...
Investigation of drying conditions for dental practice loads
(2019-04-01)
This thesis investigates different drying techniques for dental practice loads experimentally and numerically. Several experiments are carried out by changing both top and bottom wall temperatures while changing the ranges ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Experimental investigation of an integrated solar driven wastewater treatment system for trigeneration applications
(2018-08-01)
Hydrogen is a promising alternative as an energy carrier (and carbon-free fuel) to meet the global power demand. Hydrogen production systems can efficiently harvest energy from renewable sources. Even though photo-electrochemical ...
Analysis, assessment and optimization of biomass mixed heavy-oil driven integrated gasification combined cycle for multigeneration
(2017-11-01)
There has been increasing interest in employing Integrated Gasification Combined Cycles (IGCC) using various biomasses and low-rank coals for producing multiple outputs. The most of the existing IGCC plants do not conserve ...
Development and analysis of new integrated energy systems for sustainable buildings.
(2014-12-01)
Excessive consumption of fossil fuels in the residential sector and their associated
negative environmental impacts bring a significant challenge to engineers within research
and industrial communities throughout the ...
Experimental investigation of novel proton exchange membrane fuel cell and battery integrated system
(2023-08-01)
In this thesis study, a PEM fuel cell and battery integrated system is developed. The performance assessments of the PEM fuel cell stack are performed through the polarization curve, energy efficiency, exergy efficiency, ...
