[摘要]：In this paper, energy and exergy analyses of the geothermal-based hydrogen production via thermochemical water decomposition using a new, four-step copper chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle are conducted, and the respective cycle energy and exergy efficiencies are examined. Also, a parametric study is performed to investigate how each step of the cycle and its overall cycle performance are affected by reference environment temperatures, reaction temperatures, as well as energy efficiency of the geothermal power plant itself. As a result, overall energy and exergy efficiencies of the cycle are found to be 21.67% and 19.35%, respectively, for a reference case. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. |
