Clarifying the Butler–Volmer equation and related approximations for calculating activation losses in solid oxide fuel cell models
D.A. Noren,Myron A. Hoffman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the importance of including the activation losses in a model designed to accurately predict the voltage-current relationship of a modern solid oxide fuel cell is discussed and the derivation and applicability of several approximations is investigated.

Gas-turbine performance improvements through the use of multiple turbine interstage burners
TL;DR: In this paper, Liu et al. investigated the use of multiple interstage burners (MIBs) to increase the power and thermodynamic efficiency of a gas-turbine engine through combustion inside the turbine.

Catalytic burner for an indirect methanol fuel cell vehicle fuel processor
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the catalytic burner on reformer performance in a thermally well-integrated configuration were investigated and a detailed numerical model incorporating kinetics and mass and heat transfer was developed to accurately characterize the burner.

Advanced Fusion MHD Power Conversion Using the CFAR Cycle Concept
TL;DR: The unique features of the CFAR cycle and a high-temperature blanket designed to take advantage of it as well as the predicted performance of the MHD disk generators using mercury seeded with cesium are described.

Behavior of a large nonequilibrium MHD generator
TL;DR: A large nonequilibrium MHD generator of the linear segmented-electrode, Faraday type has been studied both experimentally and theoretically as discussed by the authors, and it is hypothesized that highly conducting layers exist along the electrode walls which short the generator through the end regions at open circuit, leading to a larger conductivity there than in the main flow.
