چکیده

An inelastic neutron scattering experiment has been performed on supercritical water at high momentum transfer, up to 90 Å, in order to study single proton dynamics. The value of the proton mean kinetic energy has been extracted in the framework of the impulse approximation. The anisotropy of the proton momentum distribution inside a single water molecule is discussed. The extracted experimental mean kinetic energy is found in good agreement with the predictions of a harmonic model, under the assumptions of decoupling between translational, rotational and vibrational degrees of freedom. Differences emerge between our results and those obtained in a recent inelastic neutron scattering experiment on water in suband supercritical conditions. These differences are pointed out and examined in detail. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1420751#

Three Dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis of a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell

A full three-dimensional, single phase computational fluid dynamics model of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) with both the gas distribution flow channels and the Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) has been developed. A single set of conservation equations which are valid for the flow channels, gas-diffusion electrodes, catalyst layers, and the membrane region are developed and numer...

Proton momentum distribution of liquid water from room temperature to the supercritical phase.

Measurements of the proton momentum distribution n(p) in water from ambient conditions to above the supercritical point are compared with theoretical calculations based on a recently developed polarizable water model. The n(p) along the H-bond direction is narrower in the dense phases, and approaches that of the isolated molecule in the more dilute phases. The theoretical model, which includes ...

Self-diffusion of supercritical water in extremely low-density region.

The self-diffusion coefficient D for super- and subcritical water is determined by using the proton pulsed-field-gradient spin echo method at high temperatures and low densities. The density of water is ranged in the steamlike region from 0.0041 to 0.0564 g [corrected] cm(-3) at a supercritical temperature of 400 degrees C, also at 0.0041-0.0079 and 0.0041-0.0462 g [corrected] cm(-3) (the steam...

Supercritical water impregnation of CuO nanoparticles on silica-support as new catalyst

In our current study, supercritical water impregnation (SCWI) was introduced as a unique catalyst preparation method by employing the high diffusivity property of supercritical water. The method allows nano-particles to place on support surfaces in extremely dispersed conditions. The silica-based nanocatalyst granules for this purpose were prepared by initial impregnation of highly porous silic...
