Numerical Study of Microfluidic Fuel Cell Performance
Using COMSOL Multiphysics 3.5, a numerical model has been developed to determine the effect of the channel geometry and electrode configuration on cell performance based on polarization curves. The Butler-Volmer equation was implemented to determine the reaction rates at the electrodes. The Conductive Media DC module is used to model the electric fields within the fuel cell. The concentration d...
متن کاملMetallic Nano-particles as Fuel Additives in Air-breathing Combustion
Title: METALLIC NANO-PARTICLES AS FUEL ADDITIVES IN AIR-BREATHING COMBUSTION Gregory Young, Doctor of Philosophy, 2007 Directed By: Associate Professor, Dr. Kenneth H. Yu, Department of Aerospace Engineering For volume limited propulsion systems, the use of metals as fuel additives offers to increase performance by increasing the volumetric energy stored in the fuel. Highspeed airbreathing comb...
متن کاملCarbon-Based Air-Breathing Cathodes for Microbial Fuel Cells
A comparison between different carbon-based gas-diffusion air-breathing cathodes for microbial fuel cells (MFCs) is presented in this work. A micro-porous layer (MPL) based on carbon black (CB) and an activated carbon (AC) layer were used as catalysts and applied on different supporting materials, including carbon cloth (CC), carbon felt (CF), and stainless steel (SS) forming cathode electrodes...
متن کاملAir-Breathing Membraneless Laminar Flow-Based Fuel Cell with Flow- Through Anode
This paper describes a detailed characterization of laminar flow-based fuel cell (LFFC) with air-breathing cathode for performance (fuel utilization and power density). The effect of flow-over and flow-through anode architectures, as well as operating conditions such as different fuel flow rates and concentrations on the performance of LFFCs was investigated. Formic acid with concentrations of ...
متن کاملPaper-based Microfluidic Fuel Cells
This work presents a paper-based membraneless microfluidic fuel cell. The device benefits from the laminar flow occurring in a porous material by capillarity to separately react with two parallel streams, anolyte and catholyte, without a separating membrane. Unlike conventional microfluidic fuel cells, the present device does not require external pumps or any other ancillary devices to operate,...
