Oxy-coal combustion produces a combustion environment that contains large amounts of CO2, H2O compared to conventional air combustion. Silica (SiO2) is a major component of the mineral impurities in coal and the vaporization of silicon containing species controls the initial phase of formation...

To solve the water flooding problem of micro passive direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) was adopted to prepare a superhydrophilic coating on the surface of an aluminum-based cathode current collector which contacts with air. Results data show that liquid water...

Little work has been performed on the importance of sodium and its occurrence in coal to PM2.5 (particles less than 2.5μm in aerodynamic diameter) reduction by kaolin during O2/N2 combustion and O2/CO2 combustion at high temperatures. In this study, the combustion experiment of a treated...

Using the technology of spectral selectivity to integrate different solar power generators in a hybrid system is a feasible way to improve the optical-electric efficiency. This paper presents an 82-layer broadband optical interference thin-film filter matching with crystalline silicon...

A new low melting point quaternary eutectic mixture consisting of alkali nitrates and sodium nitrite was modeled by using thermodynamic principles. The eutectic temperature of the quaternary salt mixture was predicted to be 371.75K. The quaternary eutectic mixture was synthesized based on the...

Thermal management needs to be carefully considered in the lithium-ion battery module design to guarantee the temperature of batteries in operation within a narrow optimal range. This article firstly explores the thermal performance of battery module under different cell arrangement structures,...
