Geometric Design of Anode-Supported Micro-Tubular Solid Oxide Fuel Cells by Multiphysics Simulations

High volumetric power density （VPD） is the basis for the commercial success of micro-tubular solid oxide fuel cells （mtSOFCs）. To find maximal VPD （MVPD） for anode-supported mtSOFC （as-mtSOFC）, the effects of geometric parameters on VPD are analyzed and the anode thickness, tan, and the cathode length, lea, are identified as the key design parameters. Thermo-fluid electrochemical models were built to examine the dependence of the electrical output on the cell parameters. The multiphysics model is validated by reproducing the experimental I-V curves with no adjustable parameters. The optimal lea and the corresponding MVPDs are then determined by the multiphysics model for 20 combinations of rin, the inner tube radius, and tan. And all these optimization are made at 1073.15 K. The results show that： （i） significant performance improvement may be achieved by geometry optimization, （ii） the seemingly high MVPD of 11 and 14 W/cm^3 can be easily realized for as-mtSOFC with single- and double-terminal anode current collection, respectively. Moreover, the variation of the area specific power density with/cac（2 mm, 40 mm） is determined for three representative （tin, tan） combinations. Besides, it is demonstrated that the current output of mtSOFC with proper geometric parameters is comparable to that of planar SOFC.

Effect of sub-layer thickness on magnetic and giant magnetoresistance properties of Ni–Fe/Cu/Co/Cu multilayered nanowire arrays

Ni-Fe/Cu/Co/Cu multilayered nanowire arrays were electrodeposited into anodic aluminum oxide template by using dual-bath method at room temperature. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the morphology and structure of the multilayered nanowire arrays. Vibrating sample magnetometer and physical property measurement system were used to measure their magnetic and giant magnetoresistance （GMR） properties. The effect of sub-layer thickness on the magnetic and GMR properties was investigated. The results indicate that magnetic properties of electmdeposited nanowires are not affected obviously by Cu layer thickness, while magnetic layers （Ni-Fe and Co layers） have significant influence. In addition, GMR ratio presents an oscillatory behavior as Cu layer thickness changes. The magnetic and GMR properties of the multilayered nanowire arrays are optimum at room temperature for the material structure of Ni-Fe （25 nm）/Cu （15 nm）/Co （25 nm）/Cu （15 nm） with 30 deposition cycles.

Effects of sodium tungstate on properties of micro-arc coatings on magnesium alloys

Anodic coatings were prepared by micro-arc oxidation on AZ91HP magnesium alloys in a base solution containing 10 g/L NaOH and 12 g/L phytic acid with addition of 0-8 g/L sodium tungstate.The effects of sodium tungstate on the coating thickness, mass gain,surface morphology and corrosion resistance were studied by eddy current instrument,electronic scales,scanning electron microscope and immersion tester.With the addition of sodium tungstate,the electrolytic conductivity increases and the final voltage decreases.The sodium tungstate has a minor effect on the coating thickness,but lightens the coating color.With increasing sodium tungstate concentration,the size of micropores on the coatings is enlarged and the corrosion resistance of the anodized samples decreases.

Effects of polarization calibration on aerosol optical depth retrieval: An ocean case sensitivity analysis

Reflectance measurements of both the visible and infrared bands of passive remote sensing sensors are widely used to retrieve aerosol optical depth(AOD) information. This is performed commonly for data obtained over both ocean and land, and these measurements allow for the off line development of a lookup table using radiative transfer models. Owing to molecular and aerosol effects, the reflected light received by the sensor is usually highly polarized. The linear polarization effect may be up to 100%, and the polarization factor of a sensor optical system will change the total intensity as well as the polarization status of the signal reaching the detector. The detector response will be different when the incident light polarization status changes, even if the total intensity remains constant. However, if the polarization calibration is neglected, it will cause obvious errors in the aerosol data retrieval. This is especially true for aerosol optical depth retrieval over an ocean. This measurement relies directly on the reflectance output of the sensor. Cases involving land surfaces are not discussed herein because the inhomogeneous properties conceal the error due to polarization. Taking the 550 and 860 nm bands as examples, the difference between the real top-of-atmosphere(TOA) reflectance and the reflectance reaching the detector is calculated using three different sensor polarization standards according to the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor(Sea Wi FS) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS) standards. The differences in AOD retrieval are also demonstrated using the lookup table developed previously from a vector radiative transfer code. The results reveal that under a normal situation in which the AOD is 0.15, the maximum AOD retrieval error could reach 0.04 in 550 nm but only 0.02 in 860 nm for the dust aerosol model. For the soot aerosol model, the maximum AOD retrieval error is 0.1 in 550 nm and 0.12 in 860 nm, indicating that the lack of polarization calibration will lead to large errors in aerosol retrieval over an ocean.

Study on PECVD SiO_2 /Si_3 N_4 double-layer electrets with different thicknesses

In this paper, performance of PECVD SiO 2 /Si 3 N 4 double layers electrets with different thicknesses were investigated detailedly in respect of chargeability, storage charge stability in high temperature and reliability in high humidity environment. Samples with different thicknesses of Si 3 N 4 and SiO 2 were prepared on Pyrex 7740 glass substrates and characterized by isothermal and high humidity charge decay. The results of experiment approved that the PECVD SiO 2 /Si 3 N 4 double layers electrets on glass substrate has as good chargeability and charge stability in high temperature and high humidity environment as thermal oxidation or APCVD/LPCVD ones on silicon substrates. The experiment results indicated that a Si 3 N 4 layer no less than 50 nm is necessary for good charge stability in high temperature and a Si 3 N 4 layer thicker than 500 nm decreases the chargeability. Even a 2 nm Si 3 N 4 layer is enough to significantly improve the charge stability in high humidity environment. Thick SiO 2 layer can increase the surface potential of electrets under the same charging condition and its charge stability in high temperature. However, the electrets with high surface potential also exhibit poor uniformity of charge stability in high humidity environment.
