Description

Motivation

• Hydrogen is an attractive energy carrier in the future energy technology.

• Hydrogen is produced from splitting of water through various process namely electrolysis, photo-electrolysis, photo-biological production and thermochemical water-splitting.

• The aim of this study is to numerically investigate fluid flow, heat transfer and chemical reaction in bayonet high temperature heat exchanger and decomposer.

• Parametric studies are performed to achieve maximum decomposition with less pressure drop.
