    • An Alternative to Gasoline: Synthetic Fuels from Nuclear Hydrogen and Captured CO[subscript 2] 

      Middleton, B. D.; Kazimi, Mujid S. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Energy and Sustainability Program, 2007-04-01)
      The motivation for this study stems from two concerns. The first is that carbon dioxide from fossil fuel combustion is the largest single human contribution to global warming. The use of nuclear power to produce hydrogen ...

    • ATTRIBUTES OF A NUCLEAR-ASSISTED GAS TURBINE POWER CYCLE 

      Jeong, Y. H.; Saha, P.; Kazimi, Mujid S. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Energy and Sustainability Program, 2005-02-01)
      By using a combination of a nuclear reactor, which emits no carbon dioxide, and a high efficiency natural gas turbine combined cycle (NGCC), electric utilities can reduce their generation cost as well as minimize the ...

    • Hydrogen Production for Steam Electrolysis Using a Supercritical CO[subscript 2]- Cooled Fast Reactor 

      Memmott, M. J.; Driscoll, Michael J.; Hejzlar, Pavel; Kazimi, Mujid S. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Energy and Sustainability Program, 2007-02-01)
      Rising natural gas prices and growing concern over CO[subscript 2] emissions have intensified interest in alternative methods for producing hydrogen. Nuclear energy can be used to produce hydrogen through thermochemical ...

    • Nuclear Energy Options for Hydrogen and Hydrogen-Based Liquid Fuels Production 

      Yildiz, Bilge; Kazimi, Mujid S. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Energy and Sustainability Program, 2003-09)
      Nuclear energy can be used for hydrogen production through thermochemical or electrochemical processes for splitting water (and/or steam) into its elemental parts. The overall performance of alternative routes for using ...

    • OPTIMIZATION OF THE HYBRID SULFUR CYCLE FOR HYDROGEN GENERATION 

      Jeong, Y. H.; Kazimi, Mujid S.; Hohnholt, K. J.; Yildiz, Bilge (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Energy and Sustainability Program, 2005-05-01)
      The hybrid sulfur cycle (modified from the Westinghouse Cycle) for decomposing water into oxygen and hydrogen is evaluated. Hydrogen is produced by electrolysis of sulfur dioxide and water mixture at low temperature, ...
