The well-known compatibility of the SOFC with hydrocarbon fuels makes the solid oxide fuel cell a strong contender for transportation applications. Gasoline and diesel will continue to be the dominant fuels for decades to come. The 500 million automobiles, the existing fuel distribution system and the economic power of oil and automobile companies combined form a strong inertia in favour of liq...

Following the severe accidents at the Japanese Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in 2011, the US Department of Energy initiated research and development on the enhancement of the accident tolerance of light water reactors by the development of fuels/cladding that, in comparison with the standard UO2/ Zircaloy (Zr) system, can tolerate loss of active cooling in the core for a considerably ...

[1] Long-term atmospheric CO2 observations are used to quantify fossil fuel-derived CO2 concentrations at a regional polluted site, and at a continental mountain station in southwest Germany. Fossil fuel CO2 emission rates for the relevant catchment areas are obtained by applying the Radon-Tracer-Method. They compare well with statistical emissions inventories but reveal a larger seasonality th...

IoT and Cloud computing is becoming more in demand now days due to advancement its technology. Most of the fuel stations these are operated manually which time consuming require manpower. It very difficult costly provide excellent facility consumers a station present distant area. All problems can be solved by use proposed project. This paper presents design implementation smart e-fuel using te...

An ad-hoc wireless sensor network is also called self-organized networking that wireless sensor nodes can automatically communicate for each other. Therefore, each sensor node is no need for the information such as location of each sensor. Similarly, it consumes much energy on the information exchanged of each sensor node in order to maintain the entire ad-hoc wireless sensor network alive. The...

This paper conducts conjoint analysis using a mixed logit model to estimate consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) for electric vehicles (EV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) on the basis of an online survey carried out in the US and Japan in 2012. We also carry out a comparative analysis across four US states. We find that on average the US consumers are more sensitive about fuel cost ...

This paper describes a prototype robot and the necessary path planning and control for space inspection applications. The robot is the rst generation of a freeying robotic camera that will assist astronauts in constructing and maintaining the Space Station. The robot will provide remote views to astronauts inside the Space Shuttle and future Space Station, and to ground controllers. The rst par...
