• no gas turbine required, only fans for air and exhaust product gas flow. • steam available for cogeneration applications requiring heat. Disadvantages: • inherently lower efficiency than regenerative Brayton and combined Brayton-Rankine cycles. • requirement for cooling and feed water. • greater complexity than regenerative Brayton cycle arrangement. 8.5 Fuel Cell Networks 8.5.1 MoltenCarbonateFuelCellNetworks:Principles,Analysisand Performance The U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) sponsors the research and development of engineered systems which utilize domestic fuel supplies while achieving high efficiency, economy and environmental performance. One of the most promising electric power generation systems currently being sponsored by NETL is the molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC). NETL looked at improving upon conventional MCFC system designs, in which multiple stacks are typically arranged in parallel with regard to the flow of reactant streams. As illustrated in Figure 8-38a, the initial oxidant and fuel feeds are divided into equal streams which flow in parallel through the fuel cell stacks. In an improved design, called an MCFC network, reactant streams are ducted such that they are fed and recycled among multiple MCFC stacks in series. Figure 8-38b illustrates how the reactant streams in a fuel cell network flow in series from stack to stack. By networking fuel cell stacks, increased efficiency, improved thermal balance, and higher total reactant utilizations can be achieved. Networking also allows reactant streams to be conditioned at different stages of utilization. Between stacks, heat can be removed, streams can be mixed, and additional streams can be injected. Stacks in series approach reversibility. MCFC stack networks produce more power than conventional configurations because they more closely approximate a reversible process. To illustrate this fact, consider Figure 8-39, which compares the maximum power that could be generated by three different MCFC systems having identical feed stream compositions1. 8-82

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
