Abstract:

The work presents investigations into the development of a fuel-powered compact SMA actuator system. For the final SMA actuator, the K-alloy SMA strip (0.9 mm x 2.5 mm), actuated by a forced convection heat transfer mechanism, was embedded in a rectangular channel. In this channel, a rectangular piston, with a slot to accommodate the SMA strip, ran along the strip and was utilized to prevent mixing between the hot and the cold fluid in order to increase the energy density of the system. The fuel, such as propane, was utilized as main energy source in order to achieve high energy and power dens

Abstract:

An understanding of the fundamental combustion properties of alternative fuels is essential for their adoption as replacements for non-renewable sources. In the aviation industry, a promising candidate is hydrotreated renewable jet fuel (HRJF). HRJF can be synthesized in a sustainable and economically viable manner from long chain fatty-acid methyl esters found in jatropha and camelina seed, and the laboratory-scale characterization of the combustion properties of HRJF is an active area of research. Such research is motivated, in part, by the chemical complexity of biojet fuels which are compo

The goal of this dissertation was to create a new class of DMFC targeted at high energy density and low loss for small electronic devices. In order for the DMFC to efficiently use all its fuel, with a minimum of balance of plant, a low-loss proton exchange membrane was required. Moderate conductivity and ultra low methanol permeability were needed. Fuel loss is the dominant loss mechanism for low power systems. By replacing the polymer membrane with an inorganic glass membrane, the methanol permeability was reduced, leading to low fuel loss. In order to achieve steady state performance, a comp

Abstract:

This thesis uses innovative approaches to analyse energy policy interventions aimed at enhancing the environmental sustainability of energy use as well as its consequential welfare implications. First, we examine the relationship between energy efficiency improvement and CO2 emissions at the macro level. We use the Index Decomposition Analysis to derive energy efficiency by separating out the impact of shifts in economic activity on energy intensity. We then employ econometric models to relate energy efficiency and CO2 emissions accounting for non-economic factors such as consumers lifestyle a

Abstract:

A major issue encountered in the large scale use of Photovoltaic (PV) energy sources for the production of electricity is the variability of the resource itself. Extensive fluctuations of the PV generation may cause dynamic operational problems for an electric utility. In order to remedy this situation it is proposed that fuel cell power plants be operated in parallel with PV arrays. This hybrid operation will help to smooth out the fluctuating PV output. Because of its high ramping capability the fuel cell will be able to absorb such fluctuations. An overall methodology is presented to eval

The ready availability of biomass in Brazil makes this type of fuel a major candidate to integrate the country's energy matrix.

Thus, this thesis has as main objective to analyse the marriage between the solid fuel, biomass in this case, and gas turbines.

Abstract:

In direct hydrocarbon fuel cells, a hydrocarbon fuel is oxidised in the anode electrode. This thesis presents a mathematical model to predict the performance of a unit cell that utilises propane as the fuel, oxygen as the oxidant, phosphoric acid as the electrolyte, and platinum as the catalyst, supported on porous carbon electrodes. The phenomena considered include the electrochemical reactions of propane oxidation and oxygen reduction on platinum, the diffusion of the gases in gas-filled electrode pores, the dissolution and diffusion of dissolved gases in liquid-filled electrode pores as wel

Abstract:

Sustainable energy management becomes more important due to the ever more actual problems of environmental pollution and limited natural resources. The fuel cell technology is one of the most attractive solutions in this sense. During the past decades fuel cells have been investigated and demonstrated for several applications. One of the most attractive applications is using fuel cell system for stationary energy cogeneration (CHP), since they are capable of producing thermal energy and power with higher efficiencies and in a more environmentally friendly way than most of the conventional comm
