This study provides a step-by-step, up-to-date fuel cell fundamentals, thermodynamic and electrochemical principles, system evaluation factors via case of 10-kW alkaline designed to operate in space applications. The also produces 100 kg pure water 5.5 kW heat. is modelled using MATLAB ANSYS Fluent. Then, the model verified with theoretical experimental results from literature. A parametric var...

Abstract Physical and electrochemical properties of Pd catalysts combined with Ru Mo on carbon support were investigated. To this end, Pd, 1.3 1.0 , 3.2 1.5 0.8 synthesized Carbon Vulcan XC72 by the method thermal decomposition polymeric precursors then physically electrochemically characterized. The highest reaction yields are obtained for /C and, as demonstrated analysis, they also show small...

Hexanol was added in ethanol – diesel fuel to prevent separation of ethanol from diesel in this study. The ethanol blend proportion can be increased upto 45% in volume by adding the Hexanol. Engine performance and emissions characteristics of the fuel blends were investigated on a diesel engine and compared with diesel fuel. Experimental results show smoke emission decreases significantly with ...

Alkaline polyelectrolyte fuel cell now receives growing attention as a promising candidate to serve as the next generation energy-generating device by enabling the use of non-precious metal catalysts (silver, cobalt, nickel et al.). However, the development and application of alkaline polyelectrolyte fuel cell is still blocked by the poor hydroxide conductivity of anion exchange membranes. In o...

At the previous conference KONES’2004 emission characteristics of C.I. engine fuelled with either rape oil methyl ester (RME) or diesel fuel (DF) as a main fuel and ethanol as additional fuel were presented. Comparison of emission and brake fuel conversion efficiency (BFCF) of the engine fuelled with both main fuels showed that fuelling with RME and ethanol is more advantageous on account of bo...
