I n 1747, Gerhard van Swieten (1700-1772), personal physician to Empress Maria Theresia and reformer of medical education in Austria, founded a bonne école de chirurgie in Vienna. He invited the Florentine Natalis Giuseppe Pallucci (1719-1797), whom he had specially trained in Paris, France, to Vienna to assist him with the school. However, although van Swieten was highly successful as a reform...

HIGH FUEL CONVERSION RATE AND HYDROGEN PRODUCTION YIELD Hsueh-Sheng Wang, Yu-Chuan Su*, Yuh-Jeen Huang and Fan-Gang Tseng * Department of Engineering and System Science, Department of Biomedical Engineering and Environmental Sciences, National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu 300, Taiwan, ROC ABSTRACT In this article, a low-temperature partial-oxidation-mode (POM) micro methanol reformer with the ...

This paper presents a numerical and experimental study on the performance of a methanol steam reformer integrated with a hydrogen/air combustion reactor for hydrogen production. A CFD-based 3D model with mass and momentum transport and temperature characteristics is established. The simulation results show that better performance is achieved in the cross-U type reactor compared to either a tubu...

Abstract A mathematical model of the SRM-HTPEM power generation system was developed to simulate effects parameters such as temperature and molar water methanol ratio on performance reformer stack in system. The built at a mobile communication base station, energy efficiency 45.5% an output 2.8 kW. correctness simulation results verified by experiments. It finds that increasing reaction decreas...
