Heat transfer analysis of solar-driven high-temperature thermochemical reactor using NiFe-Aluminate RPCs

Yong Shuai et al.

Summary: Efficiently converting solar energy into hydrogen is a promising way for renewable fuels technology, but high-temperature heat transfer enhancement remains a challenge. This study investigates high-temperature heat transfer enhancement in a porous-medium reactor for hydrogen generation, finding that radiation heat transfer has the biggest impact on heating the reacting medium, while convective reactive gas flow through the medium's pores facilitates heat distribution and gas production.

Hydrogen production employing Cu(BDC) metal-organic framework support in methanol steam reforming process within monolithic micro-reactors

Mahsa Varmazyari et al.

Summary: The Cu(BDC) metal-organic framework was used as a support for the copper catalyst in the methanol steam reforming process. Different promoters were examined for their effects on the catalytic activities, with Ce/Sm-Cu(BDC) showing the highest activities and stability. The Cu/Ce-Cu(BDC) catalyst demonstrated the highest resistance to carbon formation and potential for practical industrial applications.

Experimental and numerical investigation on flow and heat transfer characteristics of a multi-waves internally spiral finned tube

Lin Liu et al.

Summary: The flow and heat transfer characteristics of a multi-waves internally spiral finned tube were studied through experiment and numerical simulation. The results showed that the heat transfer coefficient and friction factor of the finned tube were significantly higher than those of the smooth tube, and both decreased with the increase of inscribed circle diameter while increased with the increase of spiral angle.
