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 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 ...
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 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 ...
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 ...
Modeling, analysis and optimization of integrated energy systems for multigeneration purposes
(2013-08-01)
Energy use is directly linked to well-being and prosperity across the world. Meeting the growing demand for energy in a safe and environmentally responsible manner is an important challenge. There are around seven billion ...
Investigation of energy storage options for sustainable energy systems.
(2013-08-01)
Determination of the possible energy storage options for a specific source of
energy requires a thorough analysis from the points of energy, exergy, and
exergoeconomics. The main objective of this thesis is to investigate ...
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 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 ...
Exergy and exergoeconomic analyses and optimization of thermal management systems in electric and hybrid electric vehicles
(2012-01-01)
With the recent improvements in battery technologies, in terms of energy density, cost and size,
the electric (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) technologies have shown that they can
compete with conventional vehicles ...
