PEFC) stacks, components and entire systems, in off-grid, and grid-connected configurations, with a capacity of up to 100 kW electrical power output. The facility consists of an automated and computerised fuel cell test station, gas analysers, a multi-axial vibration system which is housed in a walk-in environmental chamber (for controlling temperatures, humidity, shocks and vibrations) and ancillary equipment. The data obtained are complementary to and validate fuel cell simulations and models with reference to operation modes, components and system characteristics 1 ... 

The emission measurements during this testing included N0X, smoke, particulate and PNA. N0X was determined by a non-disper-sive infrared analyzer, and smoke by the Bacharach test. Both the particulates and PNA were sampled by a source assessment sampling system (SASS). The SASS system isokinetically samples a fraction of the stack gas and traps particulates in a series of cyclones, which classify the particulate by size. Final filtration is through a fiberglass filter mounted in an oven heated to 200°C to prevent condensation of acids. In this program, the cyclones were not used, since previous work (3) had shown the particulate from coal-derived fuel oils to be small, with an average diameter on the order of 0.4 /um. The PNA which is not deposited on the particulate is collected on XAD-2 resin after the gas has been cooled to 15-20°C. PNA analyses were carried out on a combined extract from the particulate, XAD-2 resin, other condensates in the system, and the solvent rinses used to clean the SASS system.

The combined flow and thermal models can be a powerful tool for addressing various SOFC design issues. For example, during fast startup or fast cool-down, which may be needed in automotive applications, thermal stresses that develop within the fuel-cell stack must not exceed acceptable levels. It is therefore necessary to model in detail the gas flows as well as heat and mass transfer throughout the fuel-cell stack to analyse the transient temperature distribution. The latter, in turn, may be used to predict the thermal stresses. 

A different analyser method based upon the same effect (deviating thermal conductivities of gaseous components) is shown in Fig. 6.127. The gas to be analysed diffuses into the measuring cell. Here, a thermal conductivity sensor made of three superimposed silicon chips shows a balanced (zero) output of two thin film resistors fitted on a membrane on the chip in the middle of this stack. One of these thin film resistors is exposed to the gas to be measured. Due to its thermal conductivity, the pair of thin film resistors show an unbalanced signal output. 

Table 6.1. Life-cycle impacts from production by steam reforming of natural gas. Mortality from stack emissions of (SO2, NO ) aerosols and particulate matter is taken as 2 X 10 per g, and morbidity is taken as 935 x 10 workdays lost per g, corresponding to European population densities. Global warming cost is 0.38 euro/kg COj-eq. NA/NQ not analysed/not quantified (with use of data from Spath and Mann (2001), Sorensen (2004a)).

A power company operates one of its boilers on natural gas and another on oil. The analyses of the fuels show 96% CH4, 2% C2H2, and 2% CO2 for the natural and C Hi.8 for the oil. The flue gases from both groups enter the same stack, and an Orsat analysis of this combined flue gas shows 10.0% CO2, 0.63% CO, and 4.55% O2. What percentage of the total carbon burned comes from the oil ... 

The structural properties of SiC>2 gel determined from gas adsorption analyses are summarized in Table 5.6. The data in Table 5.6 indicate that the stacking density of the primary Si02 colloidal particles in SiC>2 gel is usually about 0.331 0.522. The most compact arrangement of the primary SiC>2 colloidal particles happened in sample 2, which gave a coordination number of 6, while the loosest arrangement happened in sample 1, which gave a stacking density of 0.331 and coordination number of 4. 

The fundamental concept of the new methodologies developed by TAMU and LANL is that a representative sample can be obtained from a single point in a flow field provided the fluid momentum and any contaminants are both well mixed across the cross section of the flow. Criteria are placed on the performance of the sampling system however, the system design is at the discretion of the user. For aerosol sampling, this requirement is fulfilled if it can be demonstrated that the velocity, tracer gas, and 10-mm aerodynamic diameter (AD) aerosol particle profiles are relatively flat at the sampling location. It must also be shown that the sampling probe will acquire a representative sample from the undisturbed flow stream in the stack or duct, and that at least 50% of 10-mm AD aerosol particles will be transported from the undisturbed free stream to a collector or analyser.
