H2 Production via ferrite based H2O splitting cycle: Solar reactor thermodynamic efficiency analysis

Abstract

This study reports the thermodynamic equilibrium and efficiency analysis of the Ba-ferrite based thermochemical water splitting cycle. Attempts were made to identify the equilibrium composition associated with the thermal reduction of Ba-ferrite using HSC Chemistry software. In addition, the equations associated to the thermodynamic efficiency analysis were developed. Copyright American Institute of Chemical Engineers.
