    Biomass-based hydrogen production: A review and analysis
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009) Kalinci, Yildiz; Hepbasli, Arif; Dincer, Ibrahim
    In this study, various processes for conversion of biomass into hydrogen gas are comprehensively reviewed in terms of two main groups, namely (i) thermo-chemical processes (pyrolysis, conventional gasification, supercritical water gasification (SCWG)), and (ii) biological conversions (fermentative hydrogen production, photosynthesis, biological water gas shift reactions (BWGS)). Biomass-based hydrogen production systems are discussed in terms of their energetic and exergetic aspects. Literature studies and potential methods are then summarized for comparison purposes. in addition, a biomass gasification process via oxygen and steam in a downdraft gasifier is exergetically studied for performance assessment as a case study. The operating conditions and strategies are really important for better performance of the system for hydrogen production. A distinct range of temperatures and pressures is used, such as that the temperatures may vary from 480 to 1400 degrees C, while the pressures are in the range of 0.1-50 MPa in various thermo-chemical processes reviewed. For the operating conditions considered the data for steam biomass ratio (SBR) and equivalence ratio (ER) range from 0.6 to 10 and 0.1 to 0.4, respectively. In the study considered, steam is used as the gasifying agent with a product gas heating value of about 10-1S MJ/Nm(3), compared to an air gasification of biomass process with 3-6 MJ/Nm(3). The exergy efficiency value for the case study system is calculated to be 56.8%, while irreversibility and improvement potential rates are found to be 670.43 and 288.28 kW, respectively. Also, exergetic fuel and product rates of the downdraft gasifier are calculated as 1572.08 and 901.64 kW, while fuel depletion and productivity lack ratios are 43% and 74.3%, respectively.

    Efficiency assessment of an integrated gasifier/boiler system for hydrogen production with different biomass types
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2010) Kalinci, Yildiz; Hepbasli, Arif; Dincer, Ibrahim
    In this study, we utilize some experimental data taken from the literature, especially on the air-blown gasification characteristics of six different biomass fuels, namely almond shell (ASF), walnut pruning (WPF), rice straw (RSF), whole tree wood chips (WWF), sludge (SLF) and non-recyclable waste paper (NPF) in order to study the thermodynamic performance of an integrated gasifier-boiler power system for its hydrogen production. In this regard, both energy and exergy efficiencies of the system are investigated. The exergy contents of different biomass fuels are calculated to be ranging from 15.89 to 22.07 MJ/kg, respectively. The hydrogen concentrations based on the stack gases at the cyclone exit are determined to be between 7 and 18 (%v/v) for NPF and ASF. Also, percentages of combustible vary from 30% to 46%. The stack gas has physical and chemical exergies. The total specific exergy rates are calculated and illustrated. These values change from 3.54 to 6.41 MJ/kg. Then, two types of exergy efficiencies are calculated, such as that exergy efficiency 1 is examined via all system powers, exergy and efficiency 2 is calculated according to specific exergy rates of biomass fuels and product gases. While the exergy efficiencies 1 change between 4.33% and 11.89%, exergy efficiencies 2 vary from 18.33% to 39.64%. Also, irreversibilities range from 9.76 to 18.02 mJ/kg. Finally, we investigate how nitrogen contents of biomass fuels affect on energy and exergy efficiencies. The SLF has the highest amount of nitrogen content as 5.64% db while the NPF has the lowest one as 0.14% db. The minimum and maximum exergetic efficiencies belong to the same fuels. Obviously, the higher the nitrogen content the lower the efficiency based on an inverse ratio between exergy efficiency and nitrogen content. (C) 2009 Professor T. Nejat Veziroglu.

    Evaluating a low exergy heating system from the power plant through the heat pump to the building envelope
    (Elsevier Science Sa, 2008) Balta, M. Tolga; Kalinci, Yildiz; Hepbasli, Arif
    This study deals with an exergetic analysis and assessment of a low exergy heating system from the power plant through the ground-source heat pump to the building envelope. The methodology used is based on a pre-design analysis tool, which has been produced during ongoing work for the International Energy Agency (IEA) formed within the Energy Conservation in Buildings and Community Systems Programme (ECBCSP) Annex 37 to increase the understanding of exergy flows in buildings and to be able to find possibilities for further improvements in energy utilization in buildings. The analysis is applied to a room with a volume of 105 m(3) and a net floor area of 35 m(2) as an application place, while indoor and exterior air temperatures are 20 degrees C and -15 degrees C, respectively. The heat pump system used for heat production with a maximum supply temperature of 55 degrees C was designed, constructed and tested in Aksaray University, Aksaray, Turkey. In this context, energy and exergy flows were investigated, while exergy destructions in the overall system were quantified and illustrated. Total exergy input of the system was found to be 7.93 kW and the largest exergy destruction occurred in the primary energy transformation at 5.31 kW. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Performance assessment of a geothermally heated building
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2009) Kalinci, Yildiz; Balta, M. Tolga; Hepbasli, Arif
    This study deals with an exergetic performance evaluation of a geothermally heated building. This building used in the analysis has a volume of 1147.03 m(3) and a net floor area of 95.59 m(2), while indoor and exterior air temperatures are 20 and 0 degrees C, respectively. The geothermal heating system used for the heat production was constructed in the Ozkilcik heating center, Izmir, Turkey. Thermal water has a pressure of 6.8 bar, a temperature of 122 degrees C and a mass flow rate of 54.73 kg/s, while it is reinjected at 3.2 bar and 72 degrees C. The system investigated feeds three regions. Among these, the Ozkanlar region has supply/return pressure and temperature values of 4.6/3 bar and 80/60 degrees C, respectively. Energy and exergy flows are studied to quantify and illustrate exergy destructions in the overall system. Total exergy input rate to the system is found to be 9.92 kW and the largest exergy destruction rate occurs in the primary energy transformation at 3.85 kW. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

    A review of heat pump water heating systems
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009) Hepbasli, Arif; Kalinci, Yildiz
    A heat pump water heater (HPWH) operates on an electrically driven vapor-compression cycle and pumps energy from the air in its surroundings to water in a storage tank, thus raising the temperature of the water. HPWHs are a promising technology in both residential and commercial applications due to both improved efficiency and air conditioning benefits. Residential HPWH units have been available for more than 20 years, but have experienced limited success in the marketplace. Commercial-scale HPWHs are also a very promising technology, while their present market share is extremely low. This study dealt with reviewing HPWH systems in terms of energetic and exergetic aspects. In this context, HPWH technology along with its historical development was briefly given first. Next, a comprehensive review of studies conducted on them were classified and presented in tables. HPWHs were then modeled for performance evaluation purposes by using energy and exergy analysis methods. Finally. the results obtained were discussed. It is expected that this comprehensive review will be very beneficial to everyone involved or interested in the energetic and exergetic design, simulation, analysis, performance assessment and applications of various types of HPWH systems.
