Abstract

Fuel cells are making headlines across the globe in almost all arenas of power production. While the technology for these electrochemical power plants was invented around 1839 and has been in use for nearly 150 years, it is only recently that fuel cells have gained popular recognition and reckoned for serious consideration as a power zone for the future. Despite their relatively new arrival on the popular scene, fuel cells have already found their way into pre-commercial testing in domestic, commercial, industrial and mobile applications. Fuel cells convert chemical energy of a fuel gas directly into electrical work, and are efficient and environmentally clean, since no combustion is involved. Fuel cells are presently under development for a variety of generation application in response to the critical need for a cleaner energy technology. The use of fuel cell systems has been strongly promoted in Japan and the United States for medium-scale co-generation plants. Nowadays, this interest has been extended to the smaller scale, in particular at the residential area level. All fuel cells currently being developed for near term use in electric vehicles require hydrogen as a fuel. At the same time, increased interest has arisen for the application of fuel cell systems to automotive propulsion, although there is no clear option on the direct use of hydrogen stored on board or the installation of hydrogen plant on board as of this time. This paper outlines the acute global population growth and the growing need and use of energy and its component as well as its environmental impact. In particular, this paper reviews the existing or emerging fuel cells technologies, limitations, and their benefits in connection with energy, environment and sustainable development relationship. In addition, this paper also explores fuel sources and the various types of fuel cells as well as their applications.

Abstract

Rigid ceramic filters have been proven to be highly efficient gas filtration devices. However, they must be cleaned periodically for maximum efficiency. This is done by applying a pulsed reverse flow. The cleaning mechanism by which the deposited dirt is removed from the filter surface is still not fully understood. Experiments were carried out to measure pressure drop along the axis of two different candle geometry, cylindrical and tapered. For the cylindrical filter, the reverse pulse pressure was not uniformly distributed along the element. Generally, the pressure difference across the wall of the element is highest at the close end, and lowest, sometimes close to zero, at the open end. Pressure drop across the tapered filter was more uniform compared to that of the cylindrical filter. Hence, it should demonstrate better filter dirt removal. The authors have written a computer program that models the flow of the reverse pulse from the cleaning bar nozzle to the dirty side of the filter. It uses the iterative calculation mode and allows variables such as reverse pulse pressure and filter geometry to be changed. The calculations demonstrate fair agreement with the experimental results.

Abstract

The Taguchi Design of Experiments (DOE), an optimization technique, was used to establish stabilized operating parameter settings for an ultrasonic cleaning machine for a new and very dirt sensitive plastic product referred to as type A plastic produced in a company in the Philippines. The optimization process is done in actual industrial setting. Taguchi DOE defined quality as minimum variation around the target specification of a product. The matrix used for the project is the La 27 orthogonal array wherein the experiment is comprised of eight runs with seven maximum possible factors at two levels. After each experimental run, the percentage ejection rate was monitored as the measurable characteristic of the finished product. Since rejection rate was the parameter used, the ultimate value closer to zero is better (the smaller the better). Confirmation runs showed that the percentage of rejection rate has improved from 62% to 17% when the established optimized machine parameters were used. Moreover, production yield has increased from 75% to more than 90% for product type A.
