Investigating the Effect of Engine Lubricant Viscosity on Engine Friction and Fuel Economy of a Diesel Engine [PDF]
Fuel economy is affected, both by fuel and engine lubricant quality. Engine lubricant quality plays a vital role in reduction of fuel consumption by effective reduction of friction between the contact surfaces of engine parts (piston ring assembly ...

State of the Art of Fuel Cells for Ship Applications [PDF]
, 2012 Fuel cells promise to be far more efficient, produce lower or zero emissions, and operate cleaner than conventional internal-combustion engine and gas turbine. They are already used for transportation application (buses, cars and tramways).

Fluid Damping in Fuel Assemblies
Volume 4: Fluid-Structure Interaction, 2017 Damping is known to be a major parameter in the seismic design of nuclear facilities. Of special interest is the case of fuel assemblies in PWR plants, which, unlike other components, are submitted to axial flows: it has been known since the late 80s that their frequency response to lateral excitations was largely dependent on the flow velocity, and ...

Effect of bi-directional excitation input on boiling water reactor scrammability
Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2020 When a large earthquake occurs, a boiling water reactor is automatically shutdown through the insertion of control rods among fuel assemblies. A fuel assembly can vibrate in-plane when two seismic waves act on it in directions at right angles to each ...

Energy Engineering and Control Systems, 2021 The paper describes the phenomenology of fuel rod behaviour in severe accident. As an example, an experiment is described resulting in severe damage of 19 fuel rod assembly of VVER type; it was carried out in the CORA facility in 1993 (Research Centre ...

Revealing the Nanoscale Morphology Changes of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell Catalyst Layers due to Conditioning. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)We apply ex situ and in situ scanning transmission X‐ray microscopy to reveal the structural degradation of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell catalyst layers due to conditioning and thermal heating of the catalyst coated membrane. We observe a redistribution of the ionomer and carbon‐black in the catalyst layer, as well as nanoscale membrane ...
