Novel H2 manufacturing routes. Simulation and thermodynamic analysis of membrane based processes

Nowadays hydrogen is gaining more and more attention mainly because it is generally regarded as an important future fuel. Although H2 can be produced from a wide variety of resources using a range of different technologies, natural gas is generally preferred and will remain in the near future the major feedstock for the manufacture of H2....

Advanced energy analysis of high temperature fuel cell systems

In this thesis the performance of high temperature fuel cell systems is studied using a new method of exergy analysis. The thesis consists of three parts: ⢠In the first part a new analysis method is developed, which not only considers the total exergy losses in a unit operation, but which distinguishes between different types of exergy losses;...

Innovative High Temperature Fuel Cell systems

The world's energy consumption is growing extremely rapidly. Fuel cell systems are of interest by researchers and industry as the more efficient alternative to conventional thermal systems for power generation. The principle of fuel cell conversion does not involve thermal combustion and hence in theory fuel cell systems can be far more...
