Effect of copper contamination at the cathode in Cu-Cl electrolyzers for hydrogen production
(2020-04-01)
In this work the effects of copper contamination on the coulombic and voltage efficiency of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) via the Cu-Cl thermochemical cycle are investigated. A novel proton pump configuration was ...
Design and evaluation of solar and geothermal energy systems integrated with Cu-Cl cycle
(2020-09-01)
This thesis study proposes solar and geothermal based three multigeneration systems. System 1 consists of a bifacial photovoltaic (BiPV) plant, multi-effect distillation (MED) desalination unit and, proton exchange membrane ...
Investigation and assessment of the integrated copper chlorine cycle for hydrogen production with a new separation process
(2021-08-01)
The production of hydrogen as a clean fuel is anticipated to have a major impact on the development of the environmentally benign generation of energy. At present, a significant portion of hydrogen generation is based on ...
Development and assessment of integrated energy systems with ammonia synthesis and fuel cells
(2020-12-01)
Hydrogen and ammonia comprise two important clean fuels, which are expected to play a vital role in the development of clean energy production and utilization. Currently, their production relies heavily on fossil fuel-based ...
Design and evaluation of integrated waste to energy multigenerational systems
(2022-04-01)
This thesis study develops three renewable energy-based waste-to-energy multigeneration systems and examine them thermodynamically and economically. The first system uses solar-based energy and animal manure waste, and the ...
A study of a novel design for efficient hydrolysis reactor for the Cu-Cl thermochemical hydrogen production cycle
(2021-06-01)
In this thesis, methods to optimize the Hydrolysis reactor for the Cu-Cl thermochemical Hydrogen production cycle were investigated. A simplified Hydrolysis reactor using simple off-the-shelf components was tested and found ...
