Technological advances in winery wastewater treatment: A comprehensive review
(Stellenbosch University, 2022)The commercial production of wine is directly linked to the use of large amounts of fresh water coupled with the generation of copious amounts of wastewater containing significant amounts of organic and inorganic substances. ... -
Thermal conductivity and temperature profiles of the micro porous layers used for the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell
(Elsevier, 2013)The thermal conductivity and the thickness change with pressure of several different micro porous layers (MPL) used for the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) were measured. The MPL were made with different ... -
Thermal desorption spectroscopy studies of hydrogen desorption from rare earth metal trihydrides REH3 (RE¼Dy, Ho, Er)
(Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 2020)Rare earth (RE) metals form two stoichiometric hydrides, REH2 and REH3, and for the yttrium group of RE transformation of a FCC (REH2) into an HCP (REH3) lattice takes place during the second step of hydrogenation REH2 þ ... -
Three-dimensional N-doped super-hydrophilic carbon electrodes with porosity tailored by Cu2O template-assisted electrochemical oxidation to improve the performance of electrical double-layer capacitors
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021)Three-dimensional (3D), binder-free, porous carbon-based electrodes exhibit high charge storage ability in electrical double-layer capacitors owing to their well-developed porous structures enhancing mass transfer and ... -
The use of metal hydrides in fuel cell applications
(Elsevier B.V., 2017)This paper reviews state-of-the-art developments in hydrogen energy systems which integrate fuel cells with metal hydride-based hydrogen storage. The 187 reference papers included in this review provide an overview of all ... -
Using a simulation software to perform energy and exergy analyses of the sulfur-iodine thermochemical process
(World Scientific Publishing, 2017)The objective of this work is to demonstrate the utilization of the power of simulation tools to perform an exergy analysis of a process. Exergy analysis, being a new and useful thermodynamics tool, will be applied to one ... -
Validation of an externally oil-cooled 1 kWel HT-PEMFC stack operating at various experimental conditions
(Elsevier, 2013)The performance of 1 kWel 48-cell HT-PEMFC at various experimental conditions is presented, particularly at several CO concentrations (up to 1.0%). Polarization curves measured at various anode (1.0-2.5) and cathode (1.6-4.0) ...
