Abstract: This investigation into phase change material (PCM)-based passive thermal management systems was conducted via an experimental approach using 19.5 A h lithium iron phosphate cells with dimensions of (7.25 × 160 × 227) mm3. ...

Abstract: This study has developed a two-dimensional, two-phase transport model to investigate the transport characteristics in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) using platinum group metal (PGM)-free cathode catalysts. The model ...

Abstract: The mass transfer in the cathode electrode plays an important role in operating Li-O2 batteries. In this study, a two-dimensional, transient, and isothermal model is developed to investigate the mass transfer in discharging ...

Abstract: The two main technical limitations of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) are the slow kinetic reactions of the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) in the anode and the crossing over of unreacted methanol through the proton ...

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: Li−O2 batteries with carbon electrodes made from three commercial carbons and carbon made from waste tea leaves are investigated in this study. The waste tea leaves are recycled from household tea leaves and activated using ...

Abstract: The two main technical limitations of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) are the slow kinetic reactions of the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) in the anode and the crossing over of unreacted methanol through the proton ...
