A novel dismantlable monolithic-type electrochem. promoted catalytic reactor and "smart" sensor-catalytic reactor unit has been constructed and tested for hydrocarbon oxidn. and NO redn. by C2H4 in presence of O2. In this novel reactor, thin (.apprx.20-4 ...
When running a fuel cell system in load following mode, several operating points (i.e. a combination of gas flow rates, pressures, humidities, temperatures and current density) can provide the required net power. Typically, only one of those operating poin ...
Replica detection is a prerequisite for the discovery of copyright infringement and detection of illicit content. For this purpose, content-based systems can be an efficient alternative to watermarking. Rather than imperceptibly embedding a signal, content ...
An improved version of the FALCON fuel performance code is used to model the thermal-mechanical behaviour of the test rod in the CABRI high-burnup RIA test CIP0-1. First, the original FALCON code (version MOD01) is modified by introducing new routines yiel ...
This study reports on the combination of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) generators fueled with biogas as renewable energy source, recoverable from wastes but at present underexploited. From a mobilisable near-future potential in the European Union (EU-15) of ...
A new 9.9 kb catabolic transposon, Tn-Dha1, containing the gene responsible for tetrachloroethene (PCE) reductive dechlorination activity, was isolated from Desulfitobacterium hafniense strain TCE1. Two fully identical copies of the insertion sequence ISDh ...
The effects and the consequences of transferring the ignition point of the conventional combustion chamber into a small unscavenged prechamber were evaluted through a numerical simulation based on the CFD-code KIVA- 3V. The prechamber flow characteristics ...
In the feasibility study of a FBR cycle system, alternative nuclear fuels are considered. One option is the "sphere-pac" fuel, which consists of a spherical particle bed vibro-packed into the cladding tube. Potential advantages of this concept are an almos ...
Expected urban air concentrations of the gasoline additive methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) were calculated using volatile emissions estimates and screening transport models, and these predictions were compared with Boston, MA, area urban air measurement ...
A small cogeneration system based on a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) fed on the renewable energy source biogas is presented. An existing farm biogas production site (35 m3 per day), currently equipped with a SOFC demonstration stack, is taken for reference. ...
