Smoke-Generating Devices. Smoke generators are used by the military for daytime obscuration and signaling. For field use where portable stable systems ate requited, pyrotechnic devices are often employed. The primary composition since the 1940s has been HC smoke, which generates a cloud of zinc chloride, ZnCl, smoke by a series of reactions between hexachloroethane, C2Clg(HC), zinc oxide, and aluminum (3) (eq. 4—6). The zinc regenerated in... [Pg.350]

At 1-10 W (watts), fuel cells could be used as battery replacements at 100 W to 1 kW, fuel cells could find military applications which require lightweight portable power sources for communications and weapon power at 1 - 10 kW, fuel cells could supply power to residential buildings and serve as auxiliary power units in vehicles and trucks. At higher power levels, the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) could be an effective approach for the distributed power generation and the cogeneration (i.e., combined heat and power). Above 1 MW, the SOFC could be integrated with a turbine power plant to improve the overall efficiency of power generation and reduce emissions. ... [Pg.186]

Carbon monoxide is a common impurity in hydrogen that has been generated by a reforming process. Portable power sources, used by the military for energy generation in remote locations, use a methanol reforming reaction as shown in the following equation ... [Pg.3132]

Military applications envisage the deployment of MCFCs to supply the energy required to recharge portable electronic appliances in the battlefield in this context the low-noise and highly efficient operation of MCFC power generation is invaluable. The easier logistics of liquid fuels has oriented research towards adapting MCFCs to operation on commercial propane [66]. MCFCs have also been considered for air-independent propulsion (AIP) in non-nuclear military submarines because of the low noise. [Pg.90]
