We investigate a prototype concept of a back-up electricity device where we use liquid formic acid (FA) to produce a mixture of carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen (H2) which is used in a PEM fuel cell, Fig. 1. In the fluidized bed reactor the liquid FA is decomposed to a gaseous mixture ... Read More
With their small size, low manufacturing cost, fast transient response, and capacity to generate fluid power directly from small electrical power sources, microdevices incorporating electroosmostic flow (EOF) have wide-ranging applications, including newly developed high-performance ... Read More
Dr. Chin-Hsien Cheng received his PhD. Degree in National Tsing-Hua University, Taiwan in 2007. He joined Institute for Integrated Energy Systems, University of Victoria, Canada as a post-doctoral fellow until Aug. 2009. Currently, he is a research associate and lab manager of the ... Read More
Many materials require functionally graded cellular microstructures whose porosity is engineered to meet specific requirements of diverse applications. It has been shown in previous work that the bubble growth rate of a polymeric foam can be influenced by the surrounding acoustic ... Read More
Combustion instability has been a serious issue through the developmental history of gas turbine augmentors. When heat release rate oscillations occur in phase with resonant chamber acoustic modes, a feedback cycle is formed in which the strength of local heat release rate and chamber ... Read More
Although microwave heating has been studied in great detail, microwave combination heating has not. This work investigated this in a novel microwave combination system that heats the sample through a combination of microwaves and hot air. The study used a coupled electromagnetics ... Read More
Operation in strong magnetic fields, vacuum or high precision positioning has often surpassed the limits of traditional actuators. Piezoelectric motors provide a suitable alternative in these applications where non-ferromagnetic based construction or low inertia may be required. We ... Read More
Transport of microorganisms through porous media governs many phenomena in bioremediation of environmental pollution problems and microbial enhanced oil recovery. The aim of this work is to investigate the effects of some transport parameters on breakthrough curves as well as on spatial ... Read More
An estimation method, known as Thermal Response Test, of the soil thermal properties necessary to the design of a borehole geothermal energy storage system is discussed in relation to its application to the ground having non–homogeneous composition. The governing equations of the ... Read More
This paper presents a snap shot of experimental work, which has been conducted at NTNU on billet heating with induction coils. A significant volume of experimental data have been collected for coils running with up to 0.2T: high accuracy Hall probe readings (+/-1%), metal ... Read More
