Pt surface kinetics for a PrOx reactor for fuel cell feedstream processing

PEM Fuel Cells with Bio-Ethanol Processor Systems

“…In the same way, in [52] and [50], it is concluded based on experimental results that the parallel combination of an FCS and an SC bank exhibit good performance for stand-alone residential applications during the steady-state, load-switching and peak power demand. On the contrary, without the SC bank, the FCS must supply an extra power, thereby increasing the size and cost of the FCS.…”

“…Moreover, in stationary applications the prospective arrangement is composed of a reformer. In addition, it is expected that the load has an aggressive behavior: sudden load switching and load conditions such as active-reactive power and loads with high harmonic distortion [50]. As a result, an auxiliary energy storage system such as a battery or supercapacitor bank to meet all load demands may be necessary.…”

“…The model developed by Pukrushpan et al [4], which has been employed in several works for control purposes [45][46][47][48][49][50][51], is utilized in this book as a base to represent the behavior of a generic fuel cell system. The model is described in detail in Sects.…”

“…Such expressions were obtained for a Pt-Fe/Al 2 O 3 catalyst. Bissett et al [50] determined the superficial kinetics for the simultaneous oxidations of H 2 and CO considering a catalyst of 0.5%w of Pt/Al 2 O 3 within a range of temperatures of 80-200 • C.…”
