Study Notes
Exam Instructions
- Exam contains 38 questions: multiple choice, true/false, and short answer.
- Multiple choice and true/false questions should be answered on the exam paper.
- Short answer questions should be answered in a separate exam booklet.
- Student must include name, ID, and signature on both exam papers.
- Pencils are not allowed; only pens are permitted.
Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)
- Decarbonizing Emissions: Hydrogen is vital for reducing emissions by 2050, particularly in power production and hard-to-abate industries.
- Hydrogen Applications: Hydrogen can produce heat, power, and synthetic fuels; it also stores energy.
- Hydrogen Production from Methane: Pyrolysis, partial oxidation, and steam reforming are methods for producing hydrogen from methane.
- Electrolysis: Hydrogen is produced from electrolysis using water molecules.
True/False Questions
- Hydrogen Production from Wind Power in UAE: Hydrogen production from wind power is not the most promising option for the UAE in the short term.
- Blended Hydrogen: Blended hydrogen can be integrated into natural gas transmission networks.
- Green Hydrogen from Water Splitting: Producing hydrogen from water via splitting is generally seen as the most environmentally friendly choice.
- Water Gas Shift Reaction: This reaction is used to fully oxidize byproducts and enhance hydrogen purity.
- Autothermal Reactor: Combining steam reforming and pyrolysis in an autothermal reactor increases hydrogen production per unit of feedstock.
- Specific Heat of Liquid Hydrogen: The specific heat of liquid hydrogen is lower than both water and oxygen.
- Ammonia as Fuel: Ammonia has advantages as a fuel, including low NOx emissions and flammability.
Additional Questions (Exam Booklet)
- Turquoise Hydrogen:
- Describes a method of producing hydrogen by cracking methane.
- Produces solid carbon
- Discusses process details including temperature and catalyst usage (thermal vs catalytic)
- Explains advantages and disadvantages compared to blue hydrogen (including byproduct management).
- Hydrogen Fuel Cells:
- Briefly outlines the electrochemical process, describing the anode, cathode, and electrolyte.
- Notes the applications of hydrogen fuel cells (e.g., transportation, power generation).
- Hydrogen Safety:
- Explains hydrogen combustion's characteristics: very wide flammability range, requiring little energy to ignite, and producing less heat-dispersing power than hydrocarbon combustion.
- Details the explosion risk, noting that hydrogen is lighter and rises, so it would disperse in the air rather than concentrating near the ground.
Other important information
- Microbiological/Biofuel Cells: Biological systems can split water molecules (through photocatalysis) into hydrogen and oxygen using light.
- Alternative Hydrogen Production Sources: Includes descriptions of gasification, electrolysis, and processes to produce turquoise hydrogen.
- Hydrogen Storage Technology: Refers to the use of metal hydrides for physical hydrogen storage.
- Ammonia as fuel: Details advantages and the importance of it.
- Hydrogen Economy: Certifications of low-carbon hydrogen are needed to accelerate the uptake of hydrogen and contribute to the global sustainability goal.
- Hydrogen in steel production: Hydrogen is being researched for use to replace fossil fuels in the steel production process, thereby reducing carbon emissions.
