Stacked geometries

Often the seal height or gap is variable and unknown. In this case, kh, the product of permeability, k, and seal height, //, can be replaced by A , a permeability per unit of seal perimeter length. For a given stack geometry, the seal volume basis can also be defined to include the seal path length, z, and perimeter, w, to define a permeability per cell or stack as is convenient. 

Since the vibrational spectra obtained for these two structures (iii) are very similar, we will describe in detail only the results obtained for the stacking geometry (Figure 4.17). This architecture seems to be a better model mimicking the arrangement of strongly interacting dimers as observed in crystals of similar push-pull polyenes [2],...

Using the stack geometry and stack cooling described in the previous section, the fuel cell stack occupies ca. 100 cm The space requirement for the stack would therefore increase by 50-100% to fulfill the cooling requirements, so that the fuel cell stack and fan cooler would account for ca. 20% of the notebook s volume. Thus, even if the energy density of the stack can be increased by further miniaturization, the space necessary for heat removal will continue to pose a serious obstacle to miniaturization. 

Stoddart to give a 2 2 host-guest complex, wherein two olefinic bonds of two stilbenes are organized in a stacked geometry for photoreaction (Fig. 4b). UV irradiation of the solid resulted in a stereospecific solid-state photochemical dimerization that produced a single diastereoisomer. The stereochemistry of the photoproduct was determined by way of x-ray crystallography. 

In Section 9.2 below, a summary of the nomenclature used in the chapter is given. In Section 9.3, a summary of fuel cell stack geometry, and a discussion of the dimensional reductions used in the model is given. In Section 9.4, the model of 1-D MEA transport is presented, followed by Section 9.5 on the model of channel flow for a unit cell and Section 9.6 on the electrical and thermal coupling in a stack environment. In Section 9.7, a summary of the stack model is given followed by its discretization. In Section 9.8, the iterative solution strategy for the discrete system is presented, followed by sample computational results in Section 9.9. The current state of stack modeling in this framework and future directions are summarized in the final section.
