Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are promising and rugged solid-state power sources that can directly electrochemically convert the chemical energy into electric power. Direct-hydrocarbon SOFCs eliminate external reformers; thus, system is significantly simplified capital cost reduced. comprise cathode, electrolyte, anode, of which anode paramount importance as its catalytic activity stability ke...

BACKGROUND Clinical evidence indicates the diabetes-induced impairment of osteogenesis caused by a decrease in osteoblast activity. Flavonoids can increase the differentiation and mineralization of osteoblasts in a high-glucose state. However, some flavonoids such as luteolin may have the potential to induce cytotoxicity in osteoblast-like cells. This study was performed to investigate whether ...

The purpose of present paper is simulation a direct injection stratified charge natural gas engine. The KIVA-3V code was used for gaseous fuel injection simulation. Compression and expansion stroke of engine cycle is simulated using KIVA-3V code. In cylinder fuel equivalence ratio distribution criterion is used for studying mesh independency. The results show that 550000 cells number is suff...

The understanding of electrocatalytic activity and poisoning resistance properties Pt Pd nanoparticles, recognized as the best electrocatalysts for ethanol oxidation reaction, is an essential step commercialization direct fuel cells (DEFCs). In this paper, mono bimetallic nanoparticles with different atomic ratios have been synthesized to study their reaction in alkaline solutions. were physioc...
