Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMass 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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation of a 10 kW Photovoltaic System in Areas with High Solar IrradiationIssa Etier, Mohammad Ababneh, Anas Al TarabshehProblem statement: This study investigates the design and the simulation of a 10 kW photovoltaic (PV) system in areas of high solar irradiation. The importance of this study is to explore the feasibility of connecting the PV system with a grid to generate electricity at campus of Hashemite University (Jordan) whose yearly global irradiation is 2000 kWh/m2. Approach: In order … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2011 · 9,320 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrating Renewable and Nonrenewable Energies in Power Plant PlanningHabib H. Al-Ali, Yousef Saif, Ali Elkamel, Ali LohiProblem statement: Electricity can be generated from different type of technologies such as fossil and non-fossil power plants. Among these technologies, coal-fired power plants have been a major route for electricity generation. Recently, environmental constraints were imposed over the coal power plant operations in order to reduce their emissions. Besides, renewable energy power plants such as hydroelectric, wind, solar and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,804 accessesView PDF Cite
