Introduction World economy at present relies on burning fossil fuels to produce affordable energy. A consequence of the use of these fuels is the emission of large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere creating environmental problems such as global climate warming. In the near future, if CO2 emission regulations are enforced, industry will require improved technologies for the effic...

Fuel cells will become more attractive to mainstream electricity users as they improve in capability and decrease in cost. Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC) stack dynamic model was developed to analyze a spectrum of dynamic responses, and a simplified process flow diagram of a fuel cell power plant is presented. The neural network (NN) computing architectures suggest that they may be good candi...

Abstract A competitive advantage for the molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC)-driven energy processes is their versatility. On other hand, since MCFC consumes carbon dioxide, it can reduce amount of dioxide emissions compared to cells. Accordingly, current paper develops and evaluates thermodynamic, exergoeconomic environmental analysis a new hybrid process (HEP) based on reformer stack biomass ga...

The characteristics and properties of mixtures of a borosilicate glass and ZrO2 fibres obtained from compacts isothermally sintered are presented. Three different particle sizes of glass powder and different sintering temperatures and times have been used to reveal the influence of the specific surface area and the glass matrix viscosity on sintering. The fundamental developed aspects are the s...
