Poster presentation at the 28th Thermodynamics Conference, September 2024, Delft, the Netherlands

The UT team represented the HERCULES project at the 28th Thermodynamics Conference held on 4-6th of September in Delft, the Netherlands, during which the poster presentetation was showcased. This annual academic exchange activity provides a platform for professionals working, among others, in the field of energy conversion, molecular modeling, CO2 capture, hydrogen production, porous media. 

In this poster presentation: 

• Highlights on the use of the thermochemical heat storage system to increase the application of renewable energy in the industrial heating, inclusive of the establishment of the lab-scale prototype, its immersion with the actual steel industry processes, and the delivery of the heat under ultra-high temperature (of more than 1000 Cel. Deg.) were presented. 
• In the multi-scale optimization part, the development of a complete three-tiered research framework, including system, reactor and material microstructure levels was also communicated, with different goals and functions and the connection methods of these 3 levels introduced. 
• At the level of reactor research, the methodology map presenting the undertaken research route was shown.
