Modeling Current Transients in a Reciprocal Motion Tribocorrosion Experiment
Tribocorrosion of passivating metals is a dynamic phenomenon causing degradation of materials by a combination of mechanical wear and electrochemical dissolution. The mechanical action typically produces a local removal of particles, metal as well as oxide ...
ELECTROCHEMICAL SOC INC2021Experimental characterization of a solid oxide fuel cell coupled to a steam-driven micro anode off-gas recirculation fan
Jan Van Herle, Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Stefan Diethelm, Zacharie Wuillemin, Patrick Hubert Wagner, David Constantin
While the global fuel utilization of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is limited by the stack aging rate, the fuel excess is typically used in a burner, and thus limiting the system electrical efficiency. Further, natural-gas-fueled SOFCs require treated wat ...
2020Small-scale organic Rankine cycle turbo-generator for waste heat recovery on truck engine
Truck engine waste heat recovery (WHR) systems have been investigated for many years. Among them, organic Rankine cycle (ORC) systems show the highest potential, but still lack efficient small-scale expansion devices, in practice. Proposed expanders are of ...
EPFL2020Design and Experimental Realization of a Steam-Driven Micro Recirculation Fan for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Systems
Jan Van Herle, Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Stefan Diethelm, Zacharie Wuillemin, Patrick Hubert Wagner
The Laboratory for Applied Mechanical Design (LAMD) designed, manufactured, and experimentally tested a novel steam-driven anode off-gas recirculation (AOR) fan for 10 kWel solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems. Due to the dynamic steam-lubricated bearings, ...
Electrochemical Society2019Integrated Design, Optimization, and Experimental Realization of a Steam-Driven Micro Recirculation Fan for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Systems
This thesis presents the results of the design and experimental investigation of a patented 10 kWel solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system with a thermally-driven anode off-gas recirculation (AOR) fan, the so-called fan-turbine unit (FTU). The system has the ...
EPFL2019Remotely-Powered Front-End at 2.45 GHz for Real-Time Continuous Temperature Sensing
Catherine Dehollain, Onur Kazanç, Franco Maloberti
Remote powering and power management of a passive sensor system employing antenna-rectifier co-design is presented. The operating frequency of the system is chosen at 2.45 GHz in order to reduce the antenna size. A co-design approach enables the coupling o ...
IEEE2018Design modification supporting method based on product usage data in closed-loop PLM
Thanks to recent technology related to product monitoring and data communication, it is now possible for a company to gather various kinds of product usage data during its operation in a ubiquitous way. However, the application of the newly gathered data i ...
