Researchers propose low-temperature SOFC unit for reducing NOx and oxidizing HCs in lean-burn engine exhaust

Green Car Congress

Concept of the SOFC emissions control system. Their SOFC system can be operated without consuming the anode fuel (a reductant) at temperatures near that of the engine exhaust to eliminate the need for reductant refilling and extra heating. Therefore, an alternative SOFC operation at the exhaust temperature and open circuit is sought.

New nanostructured earth abundant metal catalysts rival platinum on a weight basis; diesel emissions treatment

Green Car Congress

In recent years a team at the University of St Andrews has been exploring metal nanoparticles prepared by redox exsolution at the surface of perovskite oxides and have shown these structures to enable new dimensions in catalysis and energy conversion and storage technologies owing to their socketed, well-anchored structure. (In

Where VR Gaming Took a Wrong Turn

Cars That Think

This article is based on the authors’ new book, Fantasies of Virtual Reality (The MIT Press). Conversely, casual games can be learned quickly, are forgiving of mistakes and cheap or free, and can be played for either longer or shorter periods of time, depending on one’s schedule.” It’s physically exhausting.

ORNL Researchers Find Thermochemical Exhaust Heat Recuperation In Internal Combustion Engines Could Provide Substantial Boosts in Second-Law Efficiency

Green Car Congress

When reforming is not used, the fuel and exhaust pass through CV2 unchanged. The basic concept of TCR involves using exhaust heat to promote on-board reforming of hydrocarbon fuels into syngas (a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen). The upper inner control volume (CV1) contains the combustion chamber and piston.

DOE announces $16M for 17 Phase 1 projects in ultra-high temperature materials program; ARPA-E ULTIMATE

Green Car Congress

Phase 1 ULTIMATE teams will demonstrate proof of concept for alloy compositions, coatings, and manufacturing processes through modeling and laboratory scale tensile coupon testing of basic properties. This normally wasted energy will be absorbed in the turbine exhaust where it can produce additional electrical power or thrust.

Profile: Farmers Ethanol: Focusing on Sustainable Corn Ethanol Production and a Triple Bottom Line

Green Car Congress

In an article “Falling thirst for Fuel Leaves Ethanol Enthusiasts with a Hangover” published on 4 May 2009, The Wall Street Journal summarized three of the challenges traditional corn ethanol faces today. The cattle will get part of their daily food ration from wet distillers grain (WDG) which is a by product of the ethanol fermentation.
