This project explored the optimisation of Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) systems for hydrogen recovery in natural gas pipelines, using advanced computational methods like the Finite Volume Method and Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II. It was developed as a submission to the Journal of Hydrogen Energy, addressing challenges in renewable energy integration and efficiency.
This project evaluated the integration of a Type-1 LiBr Absorption Heat Pump with a Humidification-Dehumidification desalination system, leveraging medium-grade waste heat to enhance efficiency. The study demonstrated a significant improvement in the system's Gained Output Ratio (GOR) from 2.59 to 4.09 and provided insights into its economic and environmental viability. Although designed for the UK, the project offers scalable solutions for water-scarce regions.
This Excel model includes detailed technical calculations and a simple financial analysis for a Humidification-Dehumidification desalination system. Key features include the computation of energy requirements, Gained Output Ratio (GOR), Coefficient of Performance (COP) for the integrated heat pump, and an economic evaluation using Net Present Value (NPV) and Levelised Cost of Water (LCOW). It serves as a practical tool for assessing system performance and financial feasibility.
This group project developed the 'Chain Core,' an integrated system to connect solar panels to domestic settings with a focus on efficiency and simplicity. It features a compact design, an innovative energy management algorithm, and advanced thermal control systems, enabling up to 48% savings on electricity bills compared to traditional systems. The project emphasised interdisciplinary collaboration across electrical, mechanical, and software design to meet sustainability and economic goals.
