Fuel cells are an emerging energy conversion device which offer improved efficiency, low noise and reduced emissions. Imperial College have been asked to evaluate fuel cell system options for autonomous vehicles, and to consider the impact of military relevant fuels on fuel cell performance. Discussions with Rolls-Royce and Dstl have recently agreed two classes of application; fuel cells for au...

Power production of four hydraulically connected microbial fuel cells (MFCs) was compared with the reactors operated using individual electrical circuits (individual), and when four anodes were wired together and connected to four cathodes all wired together (combined), in fed-batch or continuous flow conditions. Power production under these different conditions could not be made based on a sin...

The Solid-oxide fuel cell is a highly efficient prime mover for biogas conversion, but part of needs to be reformulated externally facilitate the electrochemical easy control reforming conditions, and thermal management stack. Carbon deposition external mineralcarrying water should avoided ensure durability processor stack catalysts. This paper investigates four plant layouts with different ano...

This project addresses the architectures needed for the processing of Pt-Au-graphene-carbon nanotube (Pt-Au/f-G/f-CNT) nanocomposites and aims at the investigation of suitability of these nanocomposites for the hydrogen and alcohol based fuel cells and to develop novel electrocatalysts for fuel cells. The project also aims at the detection of specific biomolecules in order to develop electroche...

Today, with the advancement of technology, turning waste into fuel has been considered as an inexhaustible source of energy production, especially in industries with high energy consumption. The most important of these industries are Cement and Iron Smelting factories. Babol, as one of the largest provinces in the north of the country, has been facing waste management crisis for several years w...

background: iran is located in the seventh rank in terms of co2 emissions resulting from the fuel combustion in the world. gas compressor booster stations, due to the several sources of contaminants, are causing the release of large amounts of co2 and ch4, which will cause climate change therefore, estimating the emissions of the gases from oil and gas, different processing units are necessary....

The integrated generation of solid fuel and biogas from biomass (IFBB) is particularly designed for the conversion of semi-natural and high biodiversity grassland biomass into energy. This biomass is problematic in common energy conversion techniques, e.g. biogas conversion or combustion, because of its chemical composition. The IFFB process separates the material into a fibre rich solid fuel a...
