Comparison of environmental and economic aspects of various hydrogen production methods
TL;DR: A wide variety of processes are available for hydrogen production from gaseous or liquid fuels They differ according to the nature of the primary fuel used (ammonia, methanol, ethanol), and to the chemical reactions involved (decomposition, steam reforming, partial oxidation, electrolysis, gasification) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar water heaters with phase change material thermal energy storage medium: A review
TL;DR: In this article, a thorough literature investigation into the use of phase change material (PCM) in solar water heating has been considered and it has been demonstrated that for a better thermal performance of solar water heater a phase-change material with high latent heat and with large surface area for heat transfer is required.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal cycling test of few selected inorganic and organic phase change materials
TL;DR: In this paper, thermal cycling tests were performed to check the stability in thermal energy storage systems on some selected organic and inorganic phase change materials (PCMs) on the basis of thermal, chemical and kinetic criteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design, development and performance evaluation of a latent heat storage unit for evening cooking in a solar cooker
TL;DR: In this paper, a PCM storage unit for a solar cooker was designed and developed to store solar energy during sunshine hours, which was used to cook food in the evening using commercial grade acetamide as a latent heat storage material.
Journal ArticleDOI
An experimental study of the thermal performance of an earth-air-pipe system in single pass mode
TL;DR: The thermal performance of an earth-air-pipe system constructed at Gulmohar farm house, Gurgaon, India has been studied in this paper, where three bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, and a kitchen of a farmhouse were evaluated.
