Oxygenated hydrocarbon fuels for solid oxide fuel cells
In order to mitigate the effects of climate change and reduce dependence on fossil fuels, carbon-neutral methods of electricity generation are required. Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) have the potential to operate at high efficiencies, while liquid hydrocarbon fuels require little or no new …

Development and application of time-temperature integrators to thermal food processing
This thesis describes the research and development into a range of time-temperature integrators (TTIs) for the measurement of process values for food heat treatments. The TTIs are based on the first order thermal degradation of bacterial \(\alpha\)-amylases. Two new TTIs are described, one for mild …

Nickel aluminide coating as catalyst in steam methane reforming microreactor
The catalyst deposition in microreactor for steam methane reforming (SMR) on a micro-scale poses new opportunities due to lack of literatures. Using plate-type catalyst as a basis, a foundation work on the preparation and analysis of catalyst deposition, specifically by dip coating (DC) method was …

Molecular structure and antibacterial function of hop resin materials
Spoilage of beer by lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus spp., Pediococcus spp.) has considerable economic significance. Compounds derived from the hop (Humulus lupulus) possess antibacterial activity but their role in prevention of beer spoilage has been disputed. Prior to the present study, the …
