Optimal Design and Operation of Micro-Power Generation Processes

This paper presents the optimal design and operation of a micro power generation process that consists of a reactor, a solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and two burners in a stack fed with ammonia and butane fuels. Hydrogen is produced from ammonia decompositio ...

Carbon dioxide reduction in biphasic aqueous-ionic liquid systems by pressurized hydrogen

Gabor Laurenczy

This work reports the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide/inorganic carbonate salts to formic acid/formate in two phase systems comprising an ionic phase, in which the catalyst is immobilized, and an aqueous phase in which the carbonates and formate are confin ...

Alternative anode materials for methane oxidation in solid oxide fuel cells

Joseph Sfeir

Fuel Cells are electrochemical devices that are able to directly convert chemical energy to electrical energy, without any Carnot limitation. Hence, their energy efficiencies are relatively high. Among the various types of fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cell ...

Reorganization of adsorbed films by coadsorbing species

Sylvie Roke

Coadsorption of CO and butane on a Pt(533) surface leads to a dynamical system in which both molecules influence the adsorption behavior of each other. Adsorbing butane on a Pt(533) surface with CO on atop step sites leads to tilting of CO molecules of at ...

Gas spectrometry based on a pyroelectric thin film array

Nava Setter, Paul Muralt

We present a far infrared gas spectrometer which uses a thin film pyroelectric detector integrated on silicon. The detector is in-house fabricated and consists of 1 x 50 elements of sol-gel deposited, zirconium rich lead titanate (PZT) which are suspended ...

The performance of density functional methods for the description of weak interaction potentials. The torsional potential of butane

The torsional potential about the central C-C bond in n-butane was investigated as a test case to probe the capability of d. functional methods for the description of weak interaction potentials. Calcns. were performed within the local d. approxn. as well ...

Remote Substituent Effects on the Cheletropic and Homocheletropic Additions of Sulfur-Dioxide to Exocyclic Polyenes Grafted onto Bicyclo[2.2.2]Octane Skeletons

Pierre Vogel

Under conditions of kinetic control (-20-degrees-C), the competition between the cheletropic and homocheletropic addition of SO2 to 5,6,7,8-tetramethylidenebicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene 8 was unaffected by a methyl substituent at C(2). However, the latter induce ...

Influence of periodic concentration variations on the product distribution during the oxidation of hydrocarbons

Albert Renken

The influence of forced concn. variations on the oxidn. of hydrocarbons over a Pt gauze catalyst was examd. The period was varied between 0 and 120 sec. The periodic method of operation avoided temp. problems occurring at high conversions under stationary ...
