Development of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) anode with high resistance to coking and sulfur poisoning is highly desirable for the direct application natural gas in SOFC. Herein, a (Cu, Sm)CeO2 anchored Cu nanoparticles has been prepared. Most particle size ranges from 20 50 nm, which can increase conductivity catalytic activity anode. The Cu/CSCO10 supported exhibits maximum power density 404.6...

Direct internal reforming in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) results in increased overall efficiency of the system. Present study focus on the chemical and electrochemical process in an internally reforming anode supported SOFC button cell running on humidified CH4 (3% H2O). The computational approach employs a detailed multi-step model for heterogeneous chemistry in the anode, modified Butler–Vol...

The cathode/electrolyte LSCF48/YDC15 couple is a building block of a new innovative and competitive design of a high temperature fuel cell, operating in the range between 600 and 700°C. It is based on the idea for a junction between a proton conducting SOFC (PCFC) anode/electrolyte part and a SOFC cathode/electrolyte part through a mixed H and O conducting porous ceramic membrane. Thus, in this...

Objective(s):Green tea (GT) is one of the most popular beverages worldwide whose beneficial effects on health have been demonstrated. Recent studies suggest that GT may contribute to reduction of cancer risk and progression. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of whole GT on urinary bladder chemical carcinogenesis in male and female ICR mice. Materials and Methods: The GT charact...

Anode-supported micro-tubular solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) offers many advantages over the electrolyte and cathode-supported confgurations in terms of simplicity, reliability, and efciency. In such design, the anode substrates should possess a highly porous structure, provide active sites reaction as well as serving good mechanical strength. This structure is desired to ...

PURPOSE The objective of this study was to compare aspiration pneumonia (AP)-associated microflora, calculus, and oral hygiene/care seeking behaviors in special health care needs children (SC) with gastrostomy (GT) and without. METHODS Twenty-seven GT SC, ages 3 to 12 years old and matched for age and gender with 27 non-GT SC, were examined by 2 trained investigators who recorded calculus and...

Gamma tocopherol (gT) exhibits beneficial cardiovascular effects partly due to its anti-inflammatory activity. Important sources of gT are vegetable oils. However, little is known to what extent gT can be transferred into marine animal species such as Atlantic salmon by feeding. Therefore, in this study we have investigated the transfer of dietary gT into salmon. To this end, fish were fed a di...

An optimal parameter estimation methodology of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) using modern optimization is proposed in this paper. equilibrium optimizer (EO) has been used to identify the unidentified parameters SOFC equivalent circuit with assistance experimental results. This presented via formulating modeling process as an problem considering sum mean squared error (SMSE) between observed and ...
