Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA MULTILEVEL CONVERTER WITH REDUCED NUMBER OF SWITCHES FOR FUEL CELL POWER CONDITIONING SYSTEMK. Prasada Rao, Sukhdeo SaoThis study investigates the potentials of cascaded five and seven level converters with reduced number of switches for fuel cell power conditioning system. Fuel cells is one of the most important sources of distributed energy because of its high efficiency, high energy density, plus high reliability and long life due to few moving parts. This study proposes a suitable multilevel … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 11 Apr 2014 · 6,590 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Vibration Analysis of Diesel Engine with Hydrogen-Diesel Dual FuelBoonthum Wongchai, Porranat Visuwan, Sathaporn ChuepengThe diesel engine vibration is one of the main problems of engine damage. When the hydrogen-diesel dual fuel is used, it may affect the engine vibration. Therefore, it is necessary to study the effect of hydrogen-diesel dual fuel. The regression analysis is used to find the relations between hydrogen percentage and the engine vibration. The results for all cases found … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 2 Jan 2013 · 7,898 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMass Transfer Limitation in Different Anode Electrode Surface Areas on the Performance of Dual Chamber Microbial Fuel CellBabak Salamatinia, Ali Ghannadzadeh, Mostafa Ghasemi et al.In this study, the effect of different electrode surface areas on the performance of dual chamber Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC) was investigated. Four different electrodes with 12, 16, 20 and 24 cm2 surface areas were tested in an MFC system. The 20 cm2 electrode generated an output power of 76.5 mW/m2 was found to be the highest among all the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 25 Dec 2012 · 8,522 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePolysulfone Composed of Polyaniline Nanoparticles as Nanocomposite Proton Exchange Membrane in Microbial Fuel CellMansour Saleh Alhoshan, Manal Ismail, Javed Alam et al.Proton exchange membranes play a critical role in the performance of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) but their high price was always a big deal for commercialization of MFCs. In the present study, doped and undoped polyaniline nanoparticles/polysulfone nanocomposites membranes as a new type of PEM, were fabricated and applied in the MFC and their performance was compared with Nafion 117 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 25 Dec 2012 · 9,295 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAcetone Removal and Bioelectricity Generation in Dual Chamber Microbial Fuel CellMostafa Ghasemi, Mostafa Rahimnejad, Ghasem Najafpour et al.Synthetic waste water contain organic compound can be oxidized in an anaerobic conditions in microbial fuel cell while biodegradation of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) takes place under anaerobic condition in anode compartment. The microorganisms for biological treatment of the organic matter were obtained from a UASFB bioreactor. In the treatment of waste water, ones COD was removed the current and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 25 Dec 2012 · 8,523 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCylinder Pressure Variations of the Fumigated Hydrogen-Diesel Dual Fuel CombustionBoonthum Wongchai, Porranat Visuwan, Sathaporn ChuepengCylinder pressure is one of the main parameters of diesel engine combustion affecting several changes in exhaust gas emission composition and amount as well as engine useful power, specifically when alternative fuels are used. One among other alternative fuels for diesel engine is hydrogen that can be used as fumigated reagent with air prior to intake to engine in order … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 12 Dec 2012 · 7,443 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGaseous Emissions and Combustion Efficiency Analysis of Hydrogen-Diesel Dual Fuel Engine under Fuel-Lean ConditionPrateep Chaisermtawan, Sompop Jarungthammachote, Sathaporn Chuepeng, Thanya KiatiwatExhaust gas emissions from diesel engine combustion using alternative fuel may change in their quantities that can affect exhaust gas after-treatment devices and environmental ambient. This study presents theoretical analysis of combustion generated emissions and efficiency of hydrogen-diesel duel fuel in fuel-lean condition. A chemical equilibrium method by minimizing Gibbs free energy is employed to estimate exhaust gas products from … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 1 Sep 2012 · 7,509 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Use of E100 to Fuel a Used 4-Stroke MotorcycleT. SuthisripokProblem statement: Though ethanol and gasohol are proved to be used as alternative fuels in vehicles, 4-stoke motorcycles used nationwide mainly consumed gasoline 91/95. Approach: The motorcycle tested, the used Honda Wave125 model, was properly tuned at the rich relative air-fuel ratio (λ) 0.85, which theoretically gave the maximum power output. For the use of E100, the engine required richer … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 23 Feb 2012 · 9,474 accessesView PDFCite
