Characteristic Properties and Applications of Fine Particles in Biomass Gasification

Popular Abstract in Swedish Many of the energy needs in today’s modern society are fulfilled by sources based on fossil fuels, including non-domestic oil and coal. It is well known that the increase in CO2 emission is the result of human activities, mostly fossil fuel consumption. The use of such fuels is unsustainable and has led to the phenomena such as climate change, political instability in sThe gasification of biomass is a promising route to increase the share of renewable sources in the energy mix. Besides having an overall higher thermal efficiency than combustion, it also offers the possibility of producing gaseous and liquid biofuels that can be used in the transport sector. The use of biomass gasification for energy purposes can help lower the net emissions of greenhouse gases,

A chip for linearization of RF power amplifiers using digital predistortion with a bit-parallel complex multiplier

This paper presents a custom chip for linearization of RF power amplifiers using digital predistortion. The chip has been implemented in a standard digital 0.8 μm CMOS process with standard static cells and single-phase clocking. A systolic complex multiplier based on distributed arithmetic constitutes the core of the chip. The nonlinear function is realized with a look-up table containing complex

Scheduling Tests for Stacked 3D Chips under Power Constraints

This paper addresses test application time (TAT) reduction for core-based stacked 3D chips. In contrast to the traditional method of testing non-stacked chips where the same test schedule is applied both at wafer test and at final test, stacked 3D chips need a pre-bond test schedule for each individual chip and a different post-bond test schedule where all chips are jointly tested. We consider a s

Evaluation of Lattice Boltzmann Method for Reaction-Diffusion Process in a Porous SOFC Anode Microstructure

In the microscale structure of a porous electrode, the transport processes are among the least understood areas of SOFC. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) for a porous microscopic media and investigate mass transfer processes with electrochemical reactions by LBM at a mesoscopic and microscopic level. Part of the anode structure of an SOFC for two componen

Simulation of Gas Flow and Heat Transfer in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

The simulated fuel cell has a porous electrode layer, gas flow duct and solid current collector. In terms of friction factor and Nusselt number, the characteristics of gas flow in the duct and heat transfer at heated catalyst surface were investigated by a computational calculation method. The effects of fuel cell current density, permeability of porous diffusion layers on the generation of heat,
