  • selection of appropriate primary Fuel for hydrogen production for different Fuel Cell Types comparison between decomposition and steam reforming
    International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2011
    Co-Authors: Watcharapong Khaodee, Suwimol Wongsakulphasatch, Navadol Laosiripojana, Worapon Kiatkittipong, Amornchai Arpornwichanop, Suttichai Assabumrungrat
    Abstract:

    Abstract In order to select a proper hydrogen production system being compatible with Fuel Cell, a variety of interesting primary Fuels such as light hydrocarbons and alcohols were tested in the decomposition (D) and the steam reforming (SR) processes by thermodynamic approach. The reaction performances of the systems particularly under thermally self-sustained condition were focused on. To obtain self-sustained condition, two approaches, splitting feed and splitting gas product streams to the burner for heat supply to endothermic hydrogen processor, are investigated. Our results revealed that splitting gas product gave higher carbon capture than splitting feed but lower in hydrogen yield. As expected, steam reforming provides higher hydrogen production, however, lower in hydrogen purity and carbon capture comparing to decomposition process. By considering primary Fuels, D-alcohols could be applied to MCFC and SOFC, among these, D-C2H5OH was preferable because it gives the highest ratio of H2/CO. For D-light hydrocarbon systems, which is operated at 1100 K providing 97% hydrogen purity, is suitable to be connected to MCFC, SOFC and also PEMFC.

  • Fuel Cell Systems Analysed
    Fuel Cell Systems Explained, 2013
    Co-Authors: James Larminie, K Mitchell, James K; Soga, Andrew Dicks
    Abstract:

    Provides a clear, accessible introduction to Fuel Cell technology by setting out the working methods, behaviour, limitations, features and the potential of all major Fuel Cell Types currently in commercial development. Fuel Cells are emerging as the practical and versatile solution to the problem of alternative power sources and this book provides a new understanding of Fuel Cell technology. Assuming no prior knowledge of Fuel Cell chemistry, this reference comprehensively brings together all of the key topics encompassed by this diverse field. Features include: An overview of Fuel Cell technology, explaining the operation and fundamental thermodynamics of Fuel Cells with a clear and well illustrated account of Cell construction. Detailed accounts of the problems faced by designers of all major Fuel Cell Types currently in commercial development including water management, cooling, air supply, construction methods, operating pressure and reactant composition. Up to date coverage of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Cells. Description of the main devices for moving, compressing and expanding the gases in Fuel Cell systems, including relevant formulas. Coverage of the complete Fuel Cell power system including compressors, turbines, Fuel processors, hydrogen storage devices, inverters and motors. Clear treatment of the electrical and electronic sub-systems, including regulators, grid inter-ties, electric motors and hybrid Fuel Cell/battery systems. An essential guide to the principles, design and application of Fuel Cell systems, this timely book will prove invaluable to those working and studying within this increasingly important field. Practising electrical, automotive, power and control engineers, undergraduates and graduate students in the areas of thermodynamics, electrical power systems and automotive engineering will find their knowledge and understanding of this developing area greatly enhanced by the Authors' informed and easy-to-read style.

  • Fuel Cells - Molten carbonate Fuel Cells: Overview
    Encyclopedia of Electrochemical Power Sources, 2009
    Co-Authors: Andrew Dicks
    Abstract:

    The molten carbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC) emerged during the twentieth century as one of the key Fuel Cell Types. It uses an electrolyte of alkali metal carbonates, operates typically at 650 °C, and is best suited to hydrocarbon Fuels such as natural gas, coal gas, or biogas. The high operating temperature enables such Fuels to be fed directly to the MCFC stacks, leading to conversion efficiencies greater than 50%. Molten carbonate Fuel Cell systems are ideally suited to applications that need continuous base load power. The first commercial systems, at the 300 kW scale, are therefore being used in applications such as hospitals and hotels.
