Topical G: Nuclear Energy and the Hydrogen Economy (TG)

#457 - Benchmarking of Thermochemical Cycles for Advanced Hydrogen Manufacturing Processes (TG009)
Simulation of thermochemical cycles for hydrogen production by different researchers has led to very different performance predictions. This session addresses the effect on predicted performamce of uncertainties in the computed thermodynamic properties of the various process streams and differences in their conditions. By highlighting this problem, we hope to stimulate movement toward an international benchmarking effort.
