Anaerobic Xylanolytic Bacterium from Decayed Pinus patula Wood Chips
An anaerobic, mesophilic, sporeforming, xylanolytic bacterium was isolated from decayed Pinus patula wood chips. The cells of this organism were gram-negative rods, had peritrichous flagella, and formed terminal round endospores which distended the cell wall. Xylan, cellobiose, fructose, glucose, maltose, mannose, melezitose, raffinose, rhamnose, salicin, sucrose, and xylose were utilized. The ...
متن کاملSolar energy conversion with photon-enhanced thermionic emission
Photon-enhanced thermionic emission (PETE) converts sunlight to electricity with the combined photonic and thermal excitation of charge carriers in a semiconductor, leading to electron emission over a vacuum gap. Theoretical analyses predict conversion efficiency that can match, or even exceed, the efficiency of traditional solar thermal and photovoltaic converters. Several materials have been ...
متن کاملA novel thermally biased mechanical energy conversion cycle
This paper demonstrates a new power cycle for direct conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy under a thermal bias. The cycle consisted sequentially of (i) an electric poling process under zero stress, (ii) an isoelectric process consisting of applying a uniaxial compressive stress rH followed by (iii) an electric de-poling process under constant compressive stress, and finally (i...
متن کاملPhoto-mechanical energy conversion using polymer brush dissociation
A device is investigated that continuously and directly converts light into mechanical energy, using polymers and pho-todissociation. A polymer brush tethered to a surface, is brought into contact with a parallel plate a small distance above it that contains reaction sites where photodissociation of bound polymer and light can occur. Under the appropriate conditions , the collective effect of t...
متن کاملSlip-enhanced electrokinetic energy conversion in nanofluidic channels.
We investigate theoretically the influence of hydrodynamic slip at the surface of a nanofluidic channel on the efficiency with which electrokinetic phenomena can be used to convert hydrostatic energy to electrical power. Slip is introduced by applying the Navier boundary condition to the pressure-driven and the electro-osmotic components of the fluid velocity. A strong enhancement in the effici...
