There is an acknowledged growing need for efficient and sustainable systems that use
available energy resources in an “optimal”(including constraints) way. Such a goal cannot …

Depending upon the ultimate design, the use of porous media in thermal and chemical
systems can provide significant operational advantages, including helping to maintain a …

A numerical model for an anode-supported intermediate-temperature direct-internal-
reforming planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) was developed. In this model, the volume …

The dissipative processes that arise in a microchannel flow subjected to electromagnetic
interactions, as occurs in a MHD (magnetohydrodynamic) micropump, are analyzed. The …

The aim of this work is to investigate design improvements of a shell-and-tube latent heat
thermal energy storage unit using an approach based on the analysis of entropy generation …

Oxygen-deficient regions at low voltage restrict the enhancement of proton exchange
membrane fuel cell performance. To address this issue, a blocked regulated lateral release …

Optimization of industrial processes for higher energy efficiency may be effectively carried
out based on the thermodynamic approach of entropy generation minimization (EGM). This …

The Hydraulic turbine efficiency is traditionally calculated by the pressure drop between the
inlet and outlet. But this method cannot determine the detailed energy loss distributions …

A detailed three-dimensional model of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is established to explore
its performance under special requirements in the aviation SOFC-gas turbine hybrid system …

The long current conduction path of traditional tubular solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) limits
the output performance. A new series connection structure was proposed, and a three …
