Title: Cyclone combustor
Inventor: KOJOVIC ALEKSANDAR
IPC: F23R3/34
Filed: 2002-07-08
Abstract: A cyclone combustor (10) uses a novel pre-mixture injection scheme to optimi ze performance. The cyclone combustor includes a cylindrical combustor can (12) and three fuel/air premixing tubes (30) entering the combustor can radially, with a tangential offset. The tangential offset is designed to provide an optimized circulation in the combustor can for improvement of liner life spa n, flame stability and engine turn-down. The ignition (46) and pilot fuel syste ms are placed to take advantage of the premixing tube entry locations and the tangential direction of the mixture flow momentum in the combustor can. The special combination of the parallel axes (14,36) of the combustor can and th e mixing tubes provides a right angle between an outlet section (34) and the major tube section (32) of each premixing tube. The cyclone combustor of the present invention can meet the requirements for low NOx and CO emissions.</S DOAB>

Title: Reactor and method for generating hydrogen from a metal hydride
Inventor: SCHUSTER OLIVER
IPC: H01M8/10
Filed: 2004-08-04
Abstract: The present invention provides for a method and a reactor for generating hydrogen from a metal hydride. The method includes the steps of: providing a fuel containing a metal hydride and water; catalyzing a reaction of the hydride and water by using a functional membrane system; and thereby generating hydrogen. The reactor for generating hydrogen includes a vessel, and a functional membrane system disposed within the vessel. The functional membrane system compartmentalizes the vessel into two chambers. One of the two chambers is a fuel chamber, and the other chamber is a hydrogen chamber. Fuel, containing a metal hydride and water, is introduced to the fuel chamber, where it undergoes a catalytic reaction to generate hydrogen. The generated hydrogen then passes through the functional membrane system into the hydrogen chamber, and exits the reactor via the hydrogen outlets.      The functional membrane system includes a membrane and a catalyst. The catalyst is adapted to promote the removal of hydrogen from a metal hydride.

Patent CA-2487340-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LOCKWOOD FRANCES E
IPC: C10M125/02
Filed: 2002-05-30
Abstract: Compositions de fluides présentant une conductivité thermique améliorée, supérieure jusqu'à 250 % à leurs analogues traditionnels et procédés de préparation de ces fluides. Les compositions contiennent au minimum un milieu fluide tel que l'huile ou l'eau et une quantité efficace sélectionnée de nanomatériaux de carbone, nécessaires pour améliorer la conductivité thermique du fluide. Un des nanomatériaux de carbone préférés est un graphite à conductivité thermique élevée, sa conductivité thermique étant supérieure à celle du fluide pur qui est dispersé à l'intérieur dudit matériau avec une conductivité thermique et concassé, broyé ou préparé de façon naturelle avec une granulométrie moyenne inférieure à 500 nm, et de préférence moins de 200 nm, et si possible moins de 100 nm. Le graphite est dispersé dans le fluide au moyen d'un ou de plusieurs procédés, y compris l'utilisation d'ultrasons, le concassage et la dispersion chimique. Une autre source préférée de nanomatériau à base de carbone est le nanotube de carbone avec une structure graphitique; toutefois, d'autres nanomatériaux à base de carbone sont également acceptables. Pour conférer une plus grande stabilité au matériau, on choisira un ou plusieurs dispersants chimiques. L'amélioration de la conductivité, en comparaison au fluide sans nanomatériau de carbone, est à peu près proportionnelle à la quantité de nanomatériaux à base de carbone (nanotubes de carbone et/ou de graphite) ajoutés.
