Sustainable solar fuel production by a mixed metal oxide based thermochemical H2O/CO2 splitting cycle
(
AIChE
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper reports the synthesis of Ba-ferrite via sol-gel method for the production of solar fuel such as H2 or syngas via thermochemical H2O and/or CO2 splitting cycle. Sol-gel synthesis of Ba-ferrite nanoparticles ...
Computational thermodynamic analysis of a solar thermochemical manganese oxide - Manganese sulfate water splitting cycle
(
AIChE
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper computational thermodynamics modeling of the solar H2 production via twostep thermochemical manganese oxide - manganese sulfate (MnO-MnS) water splitting cycle is reported. In this cycle, the first step ...
Optimal control of a non-isothermal catalytic packed-bed reactor model
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This work deals with the linear-quadratic control problem for a non-isothermal packed-bed catalytic reactor, which is described by coupled hyperbolic and parabolic partial differential equations model. The classical Riccati ...
Novel Ni based duplex coatings for anticorrosion applications
(
Electrochemical Society Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Ni-B/Ni-P-CeO2 duplex coatings containing inner Ni-B layer were synthesized on mild steel substrate through the electrodeposition process. The structural, surface and electrochemical properties of the duplex coatings in ...
Comparative study on low and high pressure CO2 adsorption capacity of organic materials
(
AIChE
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Application of solid sorbents for CO2 capture and separation has been under consideration since last decades owing to the promising feature of repeatable use, low cost of regeneration and thermo physical stability. However, ...
Sustained solar fuel production in multiple thermochemical cycles using sol-gel derived ferrite nanopowders
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, the sol-gel synthesis of Mg-doped Niferrite i.e. Ni-Mg-ferrite was attempted by using propylene oxide (PO) as a proton scvanger. Effects of two important synthesis paramaters such as amount of PO added during ...
Estimation of algae concentration in water solutions using spectrophotometry measurements and absorbance first derivative
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The monitoring and detection of algae in wastewater and surface solutions is important in controlling the quality of surface water and wastewater, yet there is currently no quick and simple method to achieve this. The ...
Heat powered water pump for reverse osmosis desalination
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Current desalination techniques are typically very energy intensive: energy consumption can account for up to 70% of the desalination costs. To improve economics of water desalination plants innovative energy efficient, ...
Kinetic and thermodynamic investigation of CO2 adsorption-desorption on polyethyleneimine - Mesoporous silica
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Two CO2 solid sorbents based on polyethyleneimine, PEI (432 and 10k) impregnated into mesoporous silica (MPS) foam were synthesized and tested for CO2 capture. At ambient pressure, the amount of CO2 captured by these solid ...
