This paper adds an exergy analysis of the novel SOLRGT solar-assisted power generation system proposed and described in detail in Part I of this study (Zhang and Lior, 2012, “Use of Low/Mid-Temperature Solar Heat for Thermochemical Upgrading of Energy, Part I: Application to a Novel Chemically-Recuperated Gas-Turbine Power Generation (SOLRGT) System,” ASME J. Eng. Gas Turbines Power, Accepted. ...

Due to the high operating temperature of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), system efficiency depends on efficient thermal integration and effective construction configuration. In this study, nine configurations design were investigated evaluate possible improvement with energy separation devices. The models developed under Matlab/Simulink® platform Thermolib® module. reference layout simulation in...

The hydrogen-rich gas produced in-situ by methanol steam reforming (MSR) reactions significantly affects the performance and endurance of high-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane (HT-PEM) fuel cell stack. A numerical study MSR over a commercial CuO/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst coupling with heat mass transfer phenomena in co-current packed-bed reactor is conducted. simulation results 1D 2D pseudo-ho...

For many years radiation thermometers have been used to make non-contact temperature measurements of hot objects, particularly in industrial situations such as reformer furnaces, steel reheat furnaces, and ceramics kilns. They occupy an important niche in temperature measurement since any other type of thermometer would have very slim chances of surviving in these and other such hostile environ...

Abstract Advanced transportation biofuels have been the focus of intensive development since early 2000s, and gasification in combination with synthesis technologies represents a flexible production pathway to deliver fuels for heavy-duty transport sectors that are difficult electrify. This article is related pilot-scale process concept aiming smaller-scale plants than feasible fluidized-bed ga...
