Potential thermochemical and hybrid cycles for nuclear-based hydrogen production

Abstract: SUMMARYThis paper discusses some potential low-temperature thermochemical and hybrid cycles for nuclear-based hydrogen production and considers them as a sustainable option for hydrogen production using nuclear process/ waste heat and off-peak electricity. We also assess their thermodynamic performance through energy and exergy efficiencies. The results show that these cycles have good potential and become attractive due to their high overall efficiencies 50% based on a complete reaction approach. The copper-c… Show more

“…Limitations on supplies of energy resources are problematic and energy use contributes not only to global warming, but also to such environmental concerns as air pollution, acid precipitation, stratospheric ozone depletion, forest destruction, and emission of radioactive substances [4,5]. Various analysis methods have been used for examining the environment impacts.…”

“…By noting that energy can never be ''lost'' as it is conserved according to the first law of thermodynamics, while exergy can be lost due to internal irreversibilities, the study suggests that exergy losses, particularly due to the use of non-renewable energy forms, should be minimized to obtain sustainable development. Thus, sustainability should be considered together with exergy analysis [28,30].…”
