Synthesis, Characterization, and In-situ Monitoring of Promoted ZnO Sorbents for Desulfurization in Fuel Cell Applications 

Sujan, Achintya (2017-04-26)
Energy from conventional power plants and transportation vehicles usually end up as low grade waste heat and this accounts for more than 70% of the fuel energy input. Fuel cell power systems for logistic or stationary ...

Utilizing Microfibrous Entrapped Catalyst Mixtures as a Means to Overcome Transport and Equilibrium Limitations of Dimethyl Ether Synthesis via a Methanol Intermediate 

Yantz, William Jr. (2017-11-17)
Due to the highly exothermic nature of single-step dimethyl ether synthesis, a highly conductive catalyst support known as microfibrous entrapped catalyst (MFEC) was utilized in order to mitigate the heat generation within ...

Wall Heat Transfer Properties of Metal Microfiber Catalyst Support Structures 

Gonzalez, Carlos (2015-05-11)
A renewed interest in highly exothermic and endothermic reactions for scalable energy technology have demanded a need for a catalyst support structure that is capable of managing the thermal requirements of the reaction ...
