Published at International Journal of Hydrogen Energy – Exergetic evaluation of the effect of nanofluid utilization for performance enhancement of a solar driven hydrogen production plant

Abstract: Recently, research and development on progressive and efficient hydrogen production methods has been paid lots of attention due to carbon-free feature of hydrogen. Application of nanoparticles to enhance an integrated solar-based hydrogen production unit is suggested and investigated in this work. The integrated plant consists of parabolic trough collectors coupled with a Kalina cycle …
