Vapor-fed bio-hybrid fuel cell
BACKGROUND Concentration and purification of ethanol and other biofuels from fermentations are energy-intensive processes, with amplified costs at smaller scales. To circumvent the need for these processes, and to potentially reduce transportation costs as well, we have previously investigated bio-hybrid fuel cells (FCs), in which a fermentation and FC are closely coupled. However, long-term op...
متن کاملA Microscale Vapor-fed Formic Acid Fuel Cell
A silicon-based microfabricated fuel cell running on formic acid vapor as a fuel has been developed to provide on-chip power for MEMS devices, without using any ancillary devices such as heaters, water management, air pumps, etc. As a demonstration instrument, an integrated silicon-based membrane electrode assembly and fuel evaporative structure was packaged in a plastic package to test the vap...
متن کاملSuperconducting coil fed by PEM fuel cell
Fuel cells are electrochemical energy converters which allow transformation of the chemical energy of a fuel to electricity through oxido-reduction reaction. The voltage of an elementary cell is usually near 1 V in open circuit and around 0.6 V in nominal conditions of power generation. Fuel cells are then by essence low voltage sources , so that for most practical applications, power managemen...
متن کاملOptimal power management of fuel cell hybrid vehicles
This paper presents a control strategy developed for optimizing the power flow in a Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle structure. This method implements an on-line power management based on the optimal fuzzy controller between dual power sources that consist of a battery bank and a Fuel Cell (FC). The power management strategy in the hybrid control structure is crucial for balancing between efficiency an...
متن کاملAspergillus oryzae–Saccharomyces cerevisiae Consortium Allows Bio-Hybrid Fuel Cell to Run on Complex Carbohydrates
Consortia of Aspergillus oryzae and Saccharomyces cerevisiae are examined for their abilities to turn complex carbohydrates into ethanol. To understand the interactions between microorganisms in consortia, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy is used to follow the concentrations of various metabolites such as sugars (e.g., glucose, maltose), longer chain carbohydrates, and ethanol to optimiz...
