In such miniaturized devices, numerous unit channels are typically installed in the core region between the inlet and outlet manifolds, resulting in fluid flow maldistribution which affects the thermal performance of the device. This review focuses on single-phase flow maldistribution and its effects on the thermal performance of miniaturized devices under typical thermal boundary conditions. An exhaustive literature review reveals that a popular belief within this research field is that lower flow maldistribution improves thermal performance. As a result of this belief, a large number of experimental studies were conducted under adiabatic condition. Further, methods developed to mitigate maldistribution were used regardless of the thermal boundary conditions. However, quantitative comparisons between these studies reveal that the relationship between maldistribution and thermal performance is non-linear, as maldistribution does not invariably cause negative effects and can even enhance the thermal performance under certain circumstances if properly utilized. None of the existing parameters adequately reflect this complex relationship. Finally, countermeasures against maldistribution are recommended depending on the specific thermal boundary conditions, and future research needs are outlined.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100471,"journal":{"name":"Energy Reviews","volume":"3 4","pages":"Article 100098"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772970224000312/pdfft?md5=7e0cd2be68137342683a64797f7fad92&pid=1-s2.0-S2772970224000312-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141842913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reactor, being central to the implementation of CLC, primarily adheres to two technological pathways: the dual fluidized bed reactor and the packed bed reactor. However, the intricate interaction between gas-solid reaction flow and heat/mass transfer processes in these reactors gives rise to diverse operational principles at both macroscopic and microscopic levels across various reactor forms and scales, making performance prediction challenging. Consequently, the rational design of CLC reactors poses a significant challenge in advancing this technology to commercial viability. This article offers an extensive review of the prevailing reactor designs in CLC, delving into reactor characteristics, pivotal aspects of the design process, methodologies, and representative studies in the field. The predominant reactor design approaches are categorized into engineering and numerical methods. The former encompasses phenomenological and similarity analysis methods, whereas the latter consists of macroscopic and computational fluid dynamics simulation methods. Each method possesses its theoretical framework, distinctive characteristics, appropriate applications, and respective advantages and limitations. In practical applications, integrating these aspects is essential. For instance, the engineering design, which is less costly but also less precise, is effective for quickly screening numerous potential design scenarios. In contrast, the numerical design, despite its higher computational demand and greater model complexity, offers improved predictive accuracy and is optimal for validating and refining engineering design solutions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100471,"journal":{"name":"Energy Reviews","volume":"3 3","pages":"Article 100100"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772970224000336/pdfft?md5=55e69dfc484f07dd020ea8cd407763ea&pid=1-s2.0-S2772970224000336-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141841057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Leung","doi":"10.1016/j.enrev.2024.100099","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.enrev.2024.100099","url":null,"abstract":"<div><p>With the widespread of wearable electronics in healthcare, military and entertainment sectors, flexible power sources have attracted great attention, among which flexible fuel cells are relatively young compared with flexible batteries, supercapacitors and energy harvesters. Fuel cell is well known for its uninterrupted operation, high energy density and instant refueling ability, which is especially advantageous for long-term and outdoor missions. To date, existing flexible fuel cell studies can be classified into three major types based on their electrolyte and catalyst material, namely the flexible polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), membraneless fuel cell (MFC) and biofuel cell (BFC). The flexible PEMFC generally employs hydrogen as fuel so that a power density of hundreds of mW cm⁻² can be achieved. Relevant research efforts are mainly paid to the replacement of conventional rigid cell components with flexible substitutes. Moreover, novel cell structures such as ultrathin cell and tubular cell have also been proposed. However, the flexible hydrogen storage is still a research gap. The flexible MFC has a much wider choice of fuel such as methanol, ethanol and formate, but the power output is limited to dozens of mW cm⁻² due to more sluggish fuel oxidation. To circumvent the demand of pumping, porous materials with capillary action are preferred as cell substrate, such as cellulose paper and cotton thread, which can absorb electrolyte solution passively. Nevertheless, the capillary flow rate is not controllable at the moment. As for the flexible BFC, it is primarily targeted for epidermal applications in order to utilize natural organic materials in human body fluid. Benefited from this, the flexible BFC can have the simplest cell structure of two bioelectrodes only, which can be integrated onto contact lenses, tattoos, clothes, etc. However, the complex organic fuel oxidation as well as the mild electrolyte pH have greatly restricted its power density to μW cm⁻² level. In this work, a comprehensive review on existing flexible fuel cell studies is provided, including cell structure, material, performance together with their advantages and disadvantages. Based on this, solid conclusions are made on their development trend and future perspectives are presented as well.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100471,"journal":{"name":"Energy Reviews","volume":"3 4","pages":"Article 100099"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772970224000324/pdfft?md5=ea7ecbd3444709bd90ceeb5bd1fb1b4c&pid=1-s2.0-S2772970224000324-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141716216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, hydrogen can be stored underground in depleted gas fields. Lastly, oilfield water can be utilized for hydrogen production using geothermal energy from subsurface oil and gas fields.

The results show that the combination of storing compressed air and hydrogen offers a higher efficiency than storing only hydrogen and lower specific investment costs than storing only compressed air. This result is confirmed with analysis of the optimal sizing of each power plant component for simultaneous participation on multiple energy markets with a linear optimization dispatch mode. The hydrogen compressed air energy storage (HCAES) power plant can utilize more revenue possibilities than a hydrogen energy storage because of the higher round-trip efficiency and the combination of the air compressor and the integrated electrolyzer during charging mode. The integration of the electrolyzer, however, offers a couple of challenges itself because of the highly flexible operation mode. A new concept for the controllable 24-pulse diode-thyristor rectifier of the electrolyzer is presented, that uses mostly common components while offering little to no grid harmonics and a long lifetime.
