Storage of Defective Fuel Pins in SFR Core

An open fuel pin failure is a breach in the fuel pin cladding that allows direct contact between the primary coolant and the nuclear fuel. In this paper we focus on the sodium-fuel interactions in a Sodium cooled Fast neutrons Reactor (SFR), reviewing the main aspects of the fuel pin failure evolution with an emphasis on the Reaction between the Oxide fuel and the Sodium (ROS). This reaction leads to the formation of an uranoplutonate phase with approximately half the density of the initial oxide. In turn this can cause significant fuel swelling and the potential further degradation of the fuel pin. The maximal fuel swelling due to the formation of the uranoplutonate can be estimated for non-irradiated fuel based on the physico-chemical properties of the pellets, as further described in this paper.     

Catalysis in high-temperature fuel cells

Catalysis plays a critical role in solid oxide fuel cell systems. The electrochemical reactions within the cell--oxygen dissociation on the cathode and electrochemical fuel combustion on the anode--are catalytic reactions. The fuels used in high-temperature fuel cells, for example, natural gas, propane, or liquid hydrocarbons, need to be preprocessed to a form suitable for conversion on the anode-sulfur removal and pre-reforming. The unconverted fuel (economic fuel utilization around 85%) is commonly combusted using a catalytic burner. Ceramic Fuel Cells Ltd. has developed anodes that in addition to having electrochemical activity also are reactive for internal steam reforming of methane. This can simplify fuel preprocessing, but its main advantage is thermal management of the fuel cell stack by endothermic heat removal. Using this approach, the objective of fuel preprocessing is to produce a methane-rich fuel stream but with all higher hydrocarbons removed. Sulfur removal can be achieved by absorption or hydro-desulfurization (HDS). Depending on the system configuration, hydrogen is also required for start-up and shutdown. Reactor operating parameters are strongly tied to fuel cell operational regimes, thus often limiting optimization of the catalytic reactors. In this paper we discuss operation of an authothermal reforming reactor for hydrogen generation for HDS and start-up/shutdown, and development of a pre-reformer for converting propane to a methane-rich fuel stream.     

Expressions for Entropy Production Rate of Fuel Cells

On the basis of a general model of fuel cells, the entropy production rates of a fuel cell system under different conditions are derived by using theories of electrochemistry and thermodynamics. In order to analyze the influence of the irreversible losses existing in an actual fuel cell, the equivalent circuit of the fuel cell is introduced, so that the irreversible factor of the fuel cell may be determined directly as a function of the internal, leak and load resistances. Moreover, the maximum power output and efficiency of the fuel cell are calculated, the optimal operation of the fuel cell is discussed, and the matching condition of the load resistance is determined.     

Preparation of metallic fuel rodlets for irradiation testing in the HANARO research reactor

U–10 wt% Zr fuel rodlets, which will be irradiated in the HANARO research reactor in order to evaluate the irradiation performance of metallic fuel and validate the in-reactor behavior, were prepared through determined fabrication processes. Injection casting technology was applied to produce U–10Zr fuel slugs, and sodium melt and a bonding process were conducted to bond a fuel slug to the fuel cladding. To seal the end plug to the fuel cladding tube, a gas tungsten arc welding technique was adopted. Based on the results of these experiments, sodium-cooled fast reactor fuel rodlets for irradiation testing in the HANARO research reactor have been soundly fabricated.     

Polyelectrolyte Membranes Based on Sulfonated Syndiotactic Polystyrene in Its Clathrate Form

Recently, more and more attention has been focused on new techniques for energy production also in view of environmental problems. A noticeable device is small fuel cell that converts chemical energy into electric energy by electrochemical reaction of hydrogen with oxygen, and exhibits a high-energy efficiency. Conventional small fuel cells have been classified into phosphoric acid-type fuel cells, molten carbonate-type fuel cells, solid oxide-type fuel cells, solid polymer type fuel cells, etc., according to the type of electrolyte used. The target of this work is the development of a new process to build up polyelectrolyte membranes, for polymer type fuel cell (PEM), by sulfonating syndiotactic polystyrene in its clathrate form. The polyelectrolyte membranes of this paper are inexpensive and exhibit good long-term stability and ion exchange capability.

Membraneless, room-temperature, direct borohydride/cerium fuel cell with power density of over 0.25 W/cm2

The widespread adoption and deployment of fuel cells as an alternative energy technology have been hampered by a number of formidable technical challenges, including the cost and long-term stability of electrocatalyst and membrane materials. We present a microfluidic fuel cell that overcomes many of these obstacles while achieving power densities in excess of 250 mW/cm(2). The poisoning and sluggish reaction rate associated with CO-contaminated H(2) and methanol, respectively, are averted by employing the promising, high-energy density fuel borohydride. The high-overpotential reaction of oxygen gas at the cathode is supplanted by the high-voltage reduction of cerium ammonium nitrate. Expensive, ineffective membrane materials are replaced with laminar flow and a nonselective, porous convection barrier to separate the fuel and oxidant streams. The result is a Nafion-free, room-temperature fuel cell that has the highest power density per unit mass of Pt catalyst employed for a non-H(2) fuel cell, and exceeds the power density of a typical H(2) fuel cell by 50%.     

A microfluidic fuel cell with flow-through porous electrodes

A microfluidic fuel cell architecture incorporating flow-through porous electrodes is demonstrated. The design is based on cross-flow of aqueous vanadium redox species through the electrodes into an orthogonally arranged co-laminar exit channel, where the waste solutions provide ionic charge transfer in a membraneless configuration. This flow-through architecture enables improved utilization of the three-dimensional active area inside the porous electrodes and provides enhanced rates of convective/diffusive transport without increasing the parasitic loss required to drive the flow. Prototype fuel cells are fabricated by rapid prototyping with total material cost estimated at 2 USD/unit. Improved performance as compared to previous microfluidic fuel cells is demonstrated, including power densities at room temperature up to 131 mW cm-2. In addition, high overall energy conversion efficiency is obtained through a combination of relatively high levels of fuel utilization and cell voltage. When operated at 1 microL min-1 flow rate, the fuel cell produced 20 mW cm-2 at 0.8 V combined with an active fuel utilization of 94%. Finally, we demonstrate in situ fuel and oxidant regeneration by running the flow-through architecture fuel cell in reverse.

Regulation of Power Conversion in Fuel Cells

Here we report a regulation about power conversion in fuel ceils. This regulation is expressed as that to-tal power produced by fuel ceils is always proportional to the square of the potential difference between the equilibrium potential and work potential. With this regulation we deduced fuel cell performance equation which can describe the potential vs. the current performance curves, namely, polarization curves of fuel cells with three power source parameters: equilibrium potential E0; internal resistance R; and power conversion coefficient K. The concept of the power conversion coefficient is a new criterion to evaluate and compare the characteristics and capacity of different fuel ceils. The calculated values obtained with this equation agree with practical performance of different types of fuel cells.     

Animal-fat investigation and combustion test

The department was commissioned to investigate the possibilities for animal-fat combustion in industrial steam generators operating originally on fuel–oil or natural gas. There are two main reasons for operating generators on animal fat as a fuel: On one hand, this material is considered as hazardous waste, thus an important goal is its environmentally benign elimination or disposal. On the other hand, fat is an excellent energy source and can be used as combustion fuel. This way fossil fuel usage can be saved while environmental regulations can also be met. The usage of animal fat as a fuel for furnaces required classification according to fuel classification rules, and comparison with the properties of fuel oil. In addition, its pollutant content was determined and the effects on the combustion process and emission were investigated. Finally the savings in fossil fuel energy consumption and related CO₂ emission achieved were determined. The first stage involved the determination of the composition of animal fat. Subsequently other properties such as viscosity and flash point variation were investigated. These data were compared to the properties of fuel oil. The theoretical investigations of animal-fat classification were promising. Initially one steam generator, originally designed for fuel oil combustion, was modified and fitted with a parallel animal fat fuel supply system. The results of the test were encouraging, although there were some problems with power regulation and later with fuel supply. A rotary cup type burner was then fitted to the boiler. Using this system, all the requirements including environmental regulations were met.     

Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography for the analysis of synthetic and crude-derived jet fuels

Fully synthetic jet fuel (FSJF) produced via Fischer-Tropsch (FT) technology was recently approved by the international aviation fuel authorities. To receive approval, comparison of FSJF and crude-derived fuel and blends on their qualitative and quantitative hydrocarbon composition was of utmost importance. This was performed by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) in the reversed phase mode. The hydrocarbon composition of synthetic and crude-derived jet fuels is very similar and all compounds detected in the synthetic product are also present in crude-derived fuels. Quantitatively, the synthetic fuel consists of a higher degree of aliphatic branching with less than half the aromatic content of the crude-derived fuel. GC×GC analyses also indicated the presence of trace levels of hetero-atomic impurities in the crude-derived product that were absent in the synthetic product. While clay-treatment removed some of the impurities and improved the fuel stability, the crude-derived product still contained traces of cyclic and aromatic S-containing compounds afterwards. Lower level of aromatics and the absence of sulphur are some of the factors that contribute to the better fuel stability and environmental properties of the synthetic fuel. GC×GC was further applied for the analysis of products during Jet Fuel Thermal Oxidation Testing (JFTOT), which measures deposit formation of a fuel under simulated engine conditions. JFTOT showed the synthetic fuel to be much more stable than the crude-derived fuel.

Modeling of LGV Supply Chain System for Land Transportation Sector

Liquid Gas for Vehicles (LGV) is an alternative fuel for land transportation sector besides gasoline. Until now, fuel conversion program from gasoline to gas fuel has not been fully implemented in Indonesia, as the availability of gas fuel distribution infrastructure is far behind the gasoline distribution infrastructure. This research was conducted to find out the necessity of gas fuel distribution infrastructure development as well as the feasibility of gasoline to gas fuel conversion implementation. The phases on this research were potential estimation of gas fuel necessity for public transportation, analysis of gasoline supply chain, analysis of the necessity of LGV distribution infrastructure development and simulation of gas fuel supply chain economic system using project financing scenario. The result of infrastructure analysis produced a recommendation of 11 new units of LGV filling stations in big cities on Java Island. The economical price for, LGV is as much as IDR 8,392/LSP. Based on this calculation, recommendation of LGV was only for executive cabs.
