  1. 16. Thermoeconomic Analysis and Optimisation of Air-Based Bottoming Cycles for Water-Free Hybrid Solar Gas-Turbine Power Plants

    University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

    Author : Raphael Sandoz; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The growing worldwide energy demand and the impacts of climate change due to anthropogenic greenhouse gases emissions are among the major issues facing humanity. The global energy system, responsible for most of the greenhouse gases emissions, is therefore at the heart of global concerns. READ MORE

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Justo Roberts; [2011]
    Keywords : cogeneration; energetic analysis; ethanol steam reforming; hydrogen production; sugar-alcohol plant;

    Abstract : In the present work it is evaluated the possibility of incorporating the production of hydrogen through the steam reforming of ethanol in a sugar-alcohol plant. The analysis is made using as a model an existing plant located in São Paulo, the Pioneros Distillery. An energetic and exergetic analysis is performed. READ MORE

  5. 19. Thermodynamic modelling of biomass based power production

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Emil Bjäreborn; Fredrik Åkerman; [2010]
    Keywords : biomass fuels gas turbine steam cycle; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : With today’s growing awareness of human caused climate changes there is a big interest to replace fossil fuels with renewable fuel sources, such as biomass fuels. For power production biomass are traditionally combusted in small scale facilities which uses a steam cycle. The electrical efficiencies for such facilities are relatively low. READ MORE

  6. 20. Preliminary Scoping and Thermodynamic Modelling of CO2 Compressors for Carbon Capture and Storage

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Matilda Lindroth; Maja Munktell; [2009]
    Keywords : CO2 compressors Carbon Capture CCS; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Power production represents one fourth to one third of all CO2 emissions. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in one way to approach the increasing problem with CO2 emissions from fossil fuelled power plants. The CO2 is separated, compressed and transported to a final storing site. READ MORE
