The production of green hydrogen is a promising sustainable pathway toward clean energy, offering a carbon-free alternative to conventional fuels. This study utilizes Aspen HYSYS simulation to analyze the mass and energy balance, entropy changes, and the effects of key process variables on the efficiency of hydrogen production via electrolysis. The simulation results demonstrate the impact of temperature on entropy, revealing that higher temperatures lead to increased entropy and energy losses. Additionally, the molar flow of reactants significantly influences reactor efficiency and hydrogen yield. The molar concentration of potassium hydroxide (KOH), used as an electrolyte, enhanced hydrogen production by improving conductivity, although it also affects the system's entropy. The findings underscore the importance of optimizing operating parameters, such as temperature and KOH concentration, to achieve maximum hydrogen production efficiency with minimal energy losses. This study affirms the viability of green hydrogen as a clean energy solution through process optimization and highlights its role in advancing sustainable energy technologies.
