The Aspen Plus process simulation package is used to evaluate the characteristics of the four-step Cu–Cl thermochemical water splitting cycle in terms of energy and exergy, to support the ultimate development of a pilot plant. Alternative designs for the heat exchanger network using Aspen...

In this paper, a new gasification system is developed for the three useful outputs of electricity, heat and hydrogen and reported for practical energy applications. The study also investigates the composition of syngas leaving biomass gasifier. The composition of syngas is represented by the...

This paper deals with the experimental investigation of a magnesium chloride saturated solar pond and its performance evaluation through energy and exergy efficiencies. The solar pond system is filled with magnesium chloride containing water to form layers with varying densities. A solar pond...
