Development and analysis of a new direct steam generation-based parabolic trough collector power plant hybridized with a biomass boiler
(2016-10-01)Direct steam generation (DSG) is the process by which steam is directly produced in parabolic trough fields and supplied to a power block. This process simplifies parabolic trough plants and improves cost effectiveness by ... -
Energy and exergy analyses of biomass cogeneration systems
(2012-08-01)Biomass cogeneration systems can generate power and process heat simultaneously from a single energy resource efficiently. In this thesis, three biomass cogeneration systems are examined. Parametric analysis of back pressure ... -
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 investigation of an R134a based organic Rankine cycle
(2011-08-01)This thesis research aims to develop an improved, efficient, low-capacity heat engine, running on an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) to generate power. The ORC is driven by low or moderate temperature heat sources, such as; ... -
Thermodynamic performance assessment of three biomass-based hydrogen production systems
(2010-04-01)Hydrogen is likely to be an important energy carrier in the future. It can be produced by the steam reforming of natural gas, coal gasification and water electrolysis among other processes. However current processes are ...
