Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Using the GAUSSIAN 03 (, 2004, GAUSSIAN 03 , Revision C.02, Gaussian, Inc., Wallingford, CT) program, the electronic structure of the C-14 and C-7 methyl esters, C14H28O2 (methyl tridecanoate) ...
Review of the Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling of Fuel Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a review of the current situation in the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling of fuel cells and highlights the significant challenges that lie ahead in the development ...
Transparent PEM Fuel Cells for Direct Visualization Experiments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper reviews some of the previous research works on direct visualization of water behavior inside proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells using a transparent single cell. Several papers ...
Through-Plane Permeability for Untreated and PTFE-Treated Gas Diffusion Layers in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The through-plane permeability has been experimentally measured for untreated and polytetrafluoroethylene-treated (PTFE-treated) gas diffusion layers (GDLs), as used in proton exchange membrane fuel ...
A Novel Approach to the Optimization of Reaction Rate Parameters for Methane Combustion Using Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study uses a multi-objective genetic algorithm to determine new reaction rate parameters (A’s, β’s and Ea’s in the non-Arrhenius expressions) for the combustion of a methane/air mixture. ...
A Novel Approach to Mechanism Reduction Optimization for an Aviation Fuel/Air Reaction Mechanism Using a Genetic Algorithm
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
