Design of an H2-O2 fired Solid Oxide Fuel Cell-Gas Turbine Test Set Up

The issue of climate change has fostered the innovation of new technology in an attempt to curb the rising emissions, with the energy sector being one of the biggest contributors of carbon emissions. Renewable Energy has shown promise in reducing the emissions by up to 32 %. However the problem of intermittency of<br/>renewable energy sources is...

Is Stokes-Einstein relation valid for the description of intra-diffusivity of hydrogen and oxygen in liquid water?

In this study, all available data from experiments and molecular simulations for the intra-diffusivities of H₂ and O₂ in H₂O, and for the self-diffusivity of pure H₂O are analyzed to examine the validity of the Stokes-Einstein relation. This analysis is motivated by the significant amount of work...

What Do Plants Leave after Summer on the Ground?: The Effect of Afforested Plants in Arid Environments

The implementation of afforestation programs in arid environments in northern China had modified the natural vegetation patterns. This increases the evaporation flux; however, the influence of these new covers on the soil water conditions is poorly understood. This work aims to describe the effect of Willow bushes (Salix psammophila C. Wang...
