Control Strategy Optimization of a Fuel-Cell Electric Vehicle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the last decades, due to emission reduction policies, research focused on alternative powertrains among which electric vehicles powered by fuel cells are becoming an attractive solution. The ...
Development of Evaluation Technologies for Microtubular SOFCs Under Pressurized Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We developed evaluation technologies for microtubular solid oxide fuel cells under pressurized conditions. The pressurized cell evaluation system for the single cell was produced. The chamber ...
Parametric Sensitivity Analysis of Fast Load Changes of a Dynamic MCFC Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Molten carbonate fuel cells are well suited for stationary power production and heat supply. In order to enhance service lifetime, hot spots, respectively, high temperature gradients inside the ...
Constructive Proof of Preisach Right Inverse With Applications to Inverse Compensation of Smart Actuators With Hysteresis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Hysteresis poses a significant challenge for control of smart material actuators. If unaccommodated, the hysteresis can result in oscillation, poor tracking performance, and potential instability when the actuators are ...

Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper, which is part of the present special issue, was published in the February 2008 issue of the Journal of Fuel Cell Science and Technology, Vol. 5, No. 1.
The Interrelation between Recurrent and Capital Costs in a Solar Thermal Process Heat System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effect of operation and maintenance (O&M) costs on energy produced by solar collector systems is crucial to the market penetration of solar process heat as an alternative energy source. ...
Transient Response of a Latent Heat Storage Unit: An Analytical and Experimental Investigation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An analytical and experimental investigation of the transient thermal response of a latent heat storage unit is presented. Emphasis is placed on characterization of an entire storage unit rather ...
Mixed Layer Development in a Double-Diffusive, Thermohaline System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A double-diffusive, thermohaline system has been studied under laboratory conditions involving uniform heating from below. Shadowgraph visualization has been used with temperature and salt concentration ...
The Influence of Two-Dimensional End Effects on the Natural Frequencies of Cantilevered Beams Weak in Shear
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Combination of Biological Processes and Fuel Cells to Harvest Solar Energy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Biomass production by micro-algae is by a factor of 10 more efficient than by plants, by which an economic process of solar energy harvesting can be established. Owing to the very low dry ...
