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 ...
Experimental and theoretical investigations of a new integrated solar tower system for photocatalytic hydrogen and power production
(2013-08-01)
Solar energy conversion via photocatalytic hydrogen production from water is an attractive route for the propagation of a hydrogen economy. Increasing the efficiency of such systems to meet the target of 10% is essential ...
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 ...
Thermodynamic anaysis of an integrated photovoltaic system for hydrogen and methanol production
(2012-06-01)
A solar based integrated system for hydrogen and methanol production is investigated. Energy and exergy analyses of a hydrogen production plant, thermodynamic assessment of methanol synthesis plant, and exergy analysis of ...
Energy, exergy and cost analyses of nuclear-based hydrogen production via thermochemical water decomposition using a copper-chlorine (Cu-CI) cycle
(2008-04-01)
In this thesis the Copper-Chlorine (Cu-CI) thermochemical cycle and its components as well as operational and environmental conditions are defined, and a comprehensive thermodynamic analysis of a Cu-CI thermochemical cycle, ...
