Evaluation of thermal stresses in planar solid oxide fuel cells as a function of thermo-mechanical properties of component materials
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Fuel cells are the direct energy conversion devices which convert the chemical energy of a
fuel to electrical energy with much greater efficiency than conventional devices. Solid Oxide
Fuel Cell (SOFC) is one of the ...
The morphology of polymer modified asphalt and its relationship to rheology and durability
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Polymers are added to asphalt binders primarily to stiffen the binder at higher
temperatures and thus to protect the pavement against rutting at summertime
temperatures early in the pavement's life. Also, it has been ...
