Results concerning the coupling of the steam reforming and total oxidn. of methanol in a two-passage reactor are presented. A com. available copper-based catalyst is used for the steam reforming. For the total oxidn., a highly active cobalt oxide catalyst ...
Polymer electrolyte and solid oxide are the two fuel cell types (PEFC, SOFC) under development in Switzerland. The very distinct operating temperatures of 80 °C (PEFC) and 800–950 °C (SOFC) impose fundamentally different requirements upon the nature of the ...
Results on solid oxide fuel cell stacks tested at 800° C with H2 fuel and using planar Ni-zirconia anode supported cells, 80x80x0.2 mm in size, are presented. Modeling and numerical simulation is used to interpret observed results and develop improved desi ...
In the inert matrix fuel concept, plutonium reprocessed from spent fuel is burned in an inert matrix, e.g. yttria-stabilized zirconia. Coming from wet reprocessing, the internal gelation can perform an easy micro-spheres production. Utilization of these pa ...
Fundamental and phenomenological models for cells, stacks, and complete systems of PEFC and SOFC are reviewed and their predictive power is assessed by comparing model simulations against experiments. Computationally efficient models suited for engineering ...
The use of ammonia as a source of hydrogen for fuel cells has received little attention until now. Ammonia offers several advantages over hydrogen as a fuel and is produced commercially in massive quantities and as a biogas. This paper describes the result ...
Pu-Er-Zr oxide as an inert matrix fuel (IMF) could be an attractive option for a once-through LWR strategy aimed at reducing the currently growing plutonium stockpiles. A basic question related to the practical introduction of such an IMF into a current-da ...
A zirconia-based fuel is studied for use of plutonium in light water reactors. Among the relevant properties for a nuclear fuel, efficient retention of fission products is required since the fuel matrix constitutes the first barrier against fission product ...
A model of a system including a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell and its fuel processing section has been developed. The goal was to investigate the process configurations to identify the optimal operating conditions and the optimal process structu ...
Particle bed arrangements (e.g. sphere-pac and vipac) are considered as alternative fuel-forms for nuclear fission of actinides. The fuel material is potentially UO2, MOX or an Inert Matrix such as yttria-stabilized zirconia. A disadvantage of ceramic part ...
