Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrogen production from the thermochemical conversion of biomass: issues and challenges

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the recent progress in the studies on hydrogen production from different kinds of biomass by pyrolysis, gasification and steam reforming without and/or with chemical-looping technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Theoretical analysis on heat and mass transfer in a direct evaporative cooler

TL;DR: In this article, a simplified cooling efficiency correlation was proposed based on the energy balance analysis of air and water film in the direct evaporative cooler, in which the wet special durable papers with different wave angles formed the air channel.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrogen production by sorption-enhanced chemical looping steam reforming of ethanol in an alternating fixed-bed reactor: Sorbent to catalyst ratio dependencies

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of sorbent addition for in-situ CO2 removal on hydrogen production by sorptionenhanced chemical looping steam reforming (SE-CLSR) of ethanol have been evaluated in an alternating fixed-bed reactor using a mixture of NiO/Al2O3 oxygen carrier catalyst (OC) and CaO based sorbent at moderate operating conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Numerical investigation on a lithium ion battery thermal management utilizing a serpentine-channel liquid cooling plate exchanger

TL;DR: In this article, a novel serpentine-channel liquid cooling plate with double inlets and outlets is developed for better managing an undesirable temperature distribution of a cell module, and numerical analyses are implemented using the software of FloEFD to study effects of flow directions, flow rates and channel widths of the cooling plate on cell temperature distribution under different operating conditions; a ratio of power consumption as a non-dimensional number is defined to analyze the hydraulic performance of the developed cooling plate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrogen production and reduction of Ni-based oxygen carriers during chemical looping steam reforming of ethanol in a fixed-bed reactor

TL;DR: In this article, NiO component in all the OCs was first reduced by ethanol and the reduced OCs were responsible of catalytic steam reforming and water gas shift for hydrogen production.
