Heat pipes to increase the efficiency of fuel cells [PDF]
The goal of this work is to suggest, design and develop new heat pipe heat exchangers to increase the efficiency of fuel cells (FCs). At least two types of heat pipe coolers are considered. The first one is a heat pipe spreader used to equalize the temperature field inside the FC stack.

Increasing Efficiency by Integrating Thermolectric Materials into Fuel Cell [PDF]
PEM (Polymer Membrane Fuel Cell) is a technology that emitselectricity from the chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen gases. Thematerial is also capable of generating electricity due to the temperaturedifference applied to both surfaces. In this study, it is aimed to establish amechanism to evaluate the waste heat produced by the fuel cell by ...

Dual-fuel Cycles to Increase the Efficiency of WtE Installations
The overall efficiency of municipal waste incineration plants is significant lower (typically 20-24 %) compared to fossil fuel power plants (typically 40-60 %). It is however possible to increase the efficiency of the MSW incinerator by integration with other power plants.

Increasing the efficiency of the gas fueled combustion engine
Paper The operation of the power system and the internal combustion engine itself is accompanied by energy losses of 60-65%. The article introduce the issue of loss of kinetic energy of gas fuel resulting from the operation of the fuel pressure regulator. It was proposed to replace the traditional pressure regulator with an electric turbine station. It

INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY OF FUEL-FIRED PLANTS WITH DUSTY WASTE GASES
The results of a set of thermal calculations of the air-heating heat exchanger of the dusty waste gases of the thermal disposal of household waste are given. The initial data for the calculations were taken in the practical range when incinerating 1t/h of household waste from the experience of using the specified installations.
