Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysical Characteristics of Maize Cob Briquette under Moderate Die PressurePatomsok WilaiponThe potential energy content of maize cob available in Thailand was calculated based on maize productivity, the residue-to-product ratio and the heating value of maize cob. It was found that the computed value was about 74.2 PJ/year. Besides, the potential energy value exceed 1,000 TJ/year was also reported for the case of five provinces of Thailand. Concerning with maize cob … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,087 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Heat Transport in a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel CellE. Afshari, S.A. JazayeriIn this study a two-phases, single-domain and non-isothermal model of a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell has been studied to investigate thermal management effects on fuel cell performance. A set of governing equations, conservation of mass, momentum, species, energy and charge for gas diffusion layers, catalyst layers and the membrane regions are considered. These equations are solved numerically in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,342 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Low-Temperature Technology of Producing Calcium Feed Phosphate with MicroelementsJózef HoffmannThe possibility of producing feed calcium phosphates in a way ensuring a low physical water content in the product was investigated in laboratory conditions. For this purpose the process use of a phosphoric acid solution with a higher (than in conventional methods) P2O5 content (53-63% by wt. P2O5) with CaO (molar fraction of 0.5-0.8) and CaCO3 in the phosphoric acid … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,739 accessesView PDFCite
