Abstract: The performance of three alkaline direct ethanol fuel cells (ADEFCs) is investigated. All three use identical anode and cathode electrodes, but one uses an anion exchange membrane (AEM) and the other two use nonpermselective ...

Abstract: A physical model is developed to study the coupled mass and charge transport in a permselective membranefree alkaline direct ethanol fuel cell. This type of fuel cell is not only free of expensive ion exchange membranes ...

Abstract: This article focuses on passive systems that are used in energy and thermal-fluid applications. These passive systems do not have moving parts and are reliable and cost-effective. Fluid motion in these passive devices could ...

Abstract: A twodimensional numerical model is developed to simulate the transient response of a heat pipeassisted latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) unit integrated with dishStirling solar power generation systems. The unit ...

Abstract: Experiments are performed to analyze melting and solidification of a phase change material (PCM) enclosed in a vertical cylinder by a concentrically located heat pipe (HP) surrounded by either aluminum foam or radial ...

Abstract: It was with great sadness that the heat transfer community learned of the passing of Professor Raymond Viskanta on December 27, 2021.Raymond Viskanta was born in Marijampole, Lithuania in 1931. In 1944, his family escaped ...
