ZERO EMISSION POWER PLANTS USING SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELLS AND OXYGEN TRANSPORT MEMBRANES (open access)

ZERO EMISSION POWER PLANTS USING SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELLS AND OXYGEN TRANSPORT MEMBRANES

Over 16,700 hours of operational experience was gained for the Oxygen Transport Membrane (OTM) elements of the proposed SOFC/OTM zero-emission power generation concept. It was repeatedly demonstrated that OTMs with no additional oxidation catalysts were able to completely oxidize the remaining depleted fuel in a simulated SOFC anode exhaust at an O{sub 2} flux that met initial targets. In such cases, neither residual CO nor H{sub 2} were detected to the limits of the gas chromatograph (<10 ppm). Dried OTM afterburner exhaust streams contained up to 99.5% CO{sub 2}. Oxygen flux through modified OTMs was double or even triple that of the standard OTMs used for the majority of testing purposes. Both the standard and modified membranes in laboratory-scale and demonstration-sized formats exhibited stable performance over extended periods (2300 to 3500 hours or 3 to 5 months). Reactor contaminants, were determined to negatively impact OTM performance stability. A method of preventing OTM performance degradation was developed and proven to be effective. Information concerning OTM and seal reliability over extended periods and through various chemical and thermal shocks and cycles was also obtained. These findings were used to develop several conceptual designs for pilot (10 kWe) and commercial-scale (250 kWe) SOFC/OTM …

ZioLib: A parallel I/O library (open access)

ZioLib: A parallel I/O library

In a distributed memory parallel environment, many applications rely on a serial I/O strategy, where the global array is gathered on a single MPI process and then written out to a file. I/O performance with this approach is largely limited by single process I/O bandwidth. Even when parallel I/O is used, satisfactory parallel scaling is not always observed. It is because in many applications fields are not necessarily in a most favorable parallel decomposition for I/O. The best I/O rates are obtained when a field is decomposed with respect to the array's last dimension (referred to here as Z). Another situation often encountered in many applications is that a field in CPU resident memory is in one index order but must be stored in a disk file in another order. Changing index orders can complicate a parallel I/O implementation and slow down I/O. ZioLib facilitates an efficient parallel I/O for arrays in such situations. In case of a write, ZioLib remaps a distributed field into a Z-decomposition on a subset of processes (which will be called the I/O staging processes) and from there writes to a disk file in parallel. In this Z-decomposition, the data layout of the remapped array …

Zn speciation in a soil contaminated by the deposition of a dredged sediment by synchrotron X-ray techniques (open access)

Zn speciation in a soil contaminated by the deposition of a dredged sediment by synchrotron X-ray techniques

The nature and proportion of Zn species present in an agricultural soil overlaid by a dredged contaminated sediment have been untangled by the novel combination of three non-invasive synchrotron-based x-ray techniques: x-ray microfluorescence ({mu}SXRF), microdiffraction ({mu}XRD), and absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS). One primary (franklinite) and two secondary (phyllomanganate and phyllosilicate) Zn-containing minerals were identified in the initial soil, and another primary (ZnS) and a new secondary (Fe-(oxyhydr)oxide) Zn species in the covered soil. The quantitative analysis of EXAFS spectra recorded on bulk samples indicated that ZnS and Zn-Fe (oxyhydr)oxides amounted to 71+-10 percent and 27+-10 percent, respectively, and the other Zn species to less than 10 percent. The two new Zn species found in the covered soil result from the gravitational migration of ZnS particles initially present in the sediment, and from their further oxidative dissolution and fixation of leached Zn on F e (oxyhydr) oxides.

ZnTe:Cu Contact Optimization Strategies for Single-Junction and Multijunction CdS/CdTe PV Device Designs (open access)

ZnTe:Cu Contact Optimization Strategies for Single-Junction and Multijunction CdS/CdTe PV Device Designs

The ability to produce high-performance CdS/CdTe photovoltaic (PV) devices that incorporate high-transparency back contacts for multijunction thin-film PV applications will require an even greater level of understanding than has been required for single-junction devices. This study reports some of our initial investigations at NREL to modify the ZnTe:Cu contact process previously developed for single-junction applications for optimal use as a transparent back contact. We have succeeded in producing devices incorporating a transparent ZnTe:Cu/ITO/metal-grid contact that demonstrates nominally identical light I-V (LIV) performance to the ZnTe:Cu/Ti contact used in single-junction devices. However, we have determined that the transparent conducting oxide (TCO), CdS, CdTe, and ZnTe:Cu layers are all factors in the optical absorption within the device. Finally, we have concluded that optimizing the transparent ZnTe:Cu contact for use with NREL-produced device material will require a more detailed understanding of the evolution of the junction region during the contact process.

Zonal Flow Dynamics and Size-scaling of Anomalous Transport (open access)

Zonal Flow Dynamics and Size-scaling of Anomalous Transport

Nonlinear equations for the slow space-time evolution of the radial drift wave envelope and zonal flow amplitude have been self-consistently derived for a model nonuniform tokamak equilibrium within the coherent 4-wave drift wave-zonal flow modulation interaction model of Chen, Lin, and White [Phys. Plasmas 7 (2000) 3129]. Solutions clearly demonstrate turbulence spreading due to nonlinearly enhanced dispersiveness and, consequently, the device-size dependence of the saturated wave intensities and transport coefficients.

Zungenschlag

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Andre Bartetzki's Zungenschlag. This is a work for 8 loudspeakers that explores the sounds of vibrating reeds. In German the word "Zunge" (tongue) is a basic term used for reeds in musical instruments. While the composer speaks of vibrating reeds, there are no instrumental sounds of woodwinds within the work. Instead, the composer uses string sounds and actual vibration sounds as the material.
