Engineering model of a passive planar air breathing fuel cell cathode

TL;DR: In this paper, the behavior of an air breathing fuel cell (ABFC) operated on dry-hydrogen in dead-ended mode is studied using theoretical analysis, and a one-dimensional, non-isothermal, combined heat and mass transport model is developed that captures the coupling between water generation, oxygen consumption, self-heating and natural convection at the air breathing cathode.
Journal ArticleDOI

RF heating of magnetic nanoparticles improves the thawing of cryopreserved biomaterials

TL;DR: In this paper, a new approach for rapidly and uniformly heating cryopreserved biospecimens with radiofrequency (RF) excited magnetic nanoparticles (mNPs) is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reaction rate of NaOCl in contact with bovine dentine: effect of activation, exposure time, concentration and pH

TL;DR: Macedo et al. as discussed by the authors determined the influence of activation method (ultrasound or laser), concentration, pH and exposure time on the reaction rate (RR) of NaOCl when in contact with dentinal walls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Numerical and experimental study of gas–particle radiative heat exchange in a fluidized-bed reactor for steam-gasification of coal

TL;DR: In this paper, a heat transfer numerical model is developed for steam-gasification of coal in a fluidized bed contained in a quartz tubular reactor that is directly exposed to concentrated thermal radiation.

Multi-objective design optimization of a micro heat sink for Concentrating Photovoltaic/Thermal (CPVT) systems using a genetic algorithm

TL;DR: In this article, an optimization methodology for a microchannel, plate-fin heat sink suitable for the cooling of a linear parabolic trough Concentrating Photovoltaic/Thermal (CPVT) system is applied.
