Design and development of a diesel and JP-8 logistic fuel processor

Feasibility study for SOFC-GT hybrid locomotive power: Part I. Development of a dynamic 3.5MW SOFC-GT FORTRAN model

“…Due to the frequency of regeneration, the GHSV must account for the desired length of operation between regeneration cycles. Values for GHSV vary widely based on the material chosen , it has been shown that a sulfur removal bed fed with fuel containing 1150 ppm sulfur could operate for more than 200 h before sulfur breakthrough occurs, necessitating regeneration of the ZnO bed [28]. This inlet sulfur concentration is higher than the current regulation of 500 ppm, and much higher than the 15 ppm that will be the new standard in 2012 [29].…”

Modeling efficiency and water balance in PEM fuel cell systems with liquid fuel processing and hydrogen membranes

“…CH 4 concentrations in ATR reformate have been shown to be below 0.5% for operating pressures up to 3 bar and outlet temperatures of 1000 K or higher at the S/C ratios in this study [10]. A complimentary program with this modeling study has been developing an ATR following an earlier reported design [16] for operating pressures as modeled here, and results have shown similarly low CH 4 outlet concentrations. Such low concentrations of CH 4 will not significantly impact the partial pressure of H 2 through the membrane reactor nor impede H 2 diffusion through the Pd-alloymembrane, and thus, the CH 4 concentrations in the reformate are assumed negligible and all carbon in the reformate is assumed to be in CO or CO 2 .…”

Towards a smart energy network: The roles of fuel/electrolysis cells and technological perspectives

“…It incorporates a catalyst bed, an injector/atomizer/mixer and a glow plug [258]. The POX reaction involving a substoichiometric ratio of oxygen and hydrocarbon is weakly exothermal, and produces H 2 and CO (R-4).…”
