Thermodynamic analysis of a new process for hydrogen and electric power production by using carbonaceous fuels and high-temperature process heat

摘要: Abstract A new process for the simultaneous production of hydrogen and electrical power by using carbonaceous fuels high-temperature heat is presented in this paper. In an electrolytic cell, sulfur dioxide dissolved aqueous solution sulfuric acid electrochemically oxidized to at anode, while gas evolved cathode. The produced cell provides oxygen fuel combustion which subsequently takes place high pressure. consisting mainly CO2, SO2 H2O expands a turbine order produce power. After expansion, components water are separated from fed together with added into electrolysis cell. shows some advantages compared already existing or proposed processes electric influence concentration other important parameters on energetic exergetic efficiency total shown. results shown paper have been obtained carbon (as substitute coal preferred fuel) nuclear plant example providing required heat).
