Performance Analysis of Ammonia in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

Jan Van Herle, Suhas Nuggehalli Sampathkumar, Peter Hugh Middleton, Steve Joris

Ammonia (NH3) has 17.8 wt% hydrogen and is easily liquified at 25°C and 8 bar pressure. Ammonia is carbon-free and can be produced sustainably at large scale and low cost. Solid oxide fuel cells generate electricity with efficiencies greater than 60% and c ...

Effects of wing kinematics, corrugation, and clap-and-fling on aerodynamic efficiency of a hovering insect-inspired flapping-wing micro air vehicle

Hoang Vu Phan, Khanh Nguyen

A flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FW-MAV) operating with aerodynamically optimal wing configuration and kinematics may save energy and thus prolong flight time. In this work, we use a computational-fluid dynamic method to investigate the effects of wing k ...

Colloidal quantum dot photodetectors with 10-ns response time and 80% quantum efficiency at 1,550 nm

Olivier Ouellette

Fast and sensitive infrared (IR) photodetection is of interest for depth imaging that is fundamental to machine vision, augmented reality, and autonomous driving. Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are appealing candidates for this goal: in contrast with III-V ...
