This book provides a comprehensive analysis of various solar based hydrogen production systems. The book covers first-law (energy based) and second-law (exergy based) efficiencies and provides a comprehensive understanding of their implications. It will help minimize the widespread misuse of efficiencies among students and researchers in energy field by using an intuitive and unified approach for defining efficiencies. The book gives a clear understanding of the sustainability and environmental impact analysis of the above systems. The book will be particularly useful for a clear understanding of second law (exergy) efficiencies for various systems. It may serve as a reference book to the researchers in energy field. The definitions and concepts developed in the book will be explained through illustrative examples.

Solar Based Hydrogen Production Systems deals with various hydrogen production systems in general and solar hydrogen production systems in particular and their energy and exergy analyses. It also covers the various chemical processes involved in hydrogen production, the primary energy sources conventional and non-conventional, that are used to produce hydrogen. In addition, various other hydrogen production methods such as photovoltaic based, photoelectrolysis, and bio-photolysis are also covered. This book provides quality analyses of solar thermal hydrogen production systems and solar photovoltaic based hydrogen production system, and will be useful for researchers, scientists, engineers and practitioners working in the field of solar hydrogen production.
