Force Scaling Comparison of Transport Phenomena in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Flow Channels

Mahbod Heidari

Liquid-gas two-phase flow in flow channels of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells has been investigated extensively in the literature; however, a comparison between the order of the magnitude of the forces occurring within the flow channels has not b ...

Microbial communities associated with uranium in-situ recovery mining process are related to acid mine drainage assemblages

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Pierre Rossi, Thomas Coral

A large fraction (47%) of the world's uranium is mined by a technique called “In Situ Recovery” (ISR). This mining technique involves the injection of a leaching fluid (acidic or alkaline) into a uranium-bearing aquifer and the pumping of the resulting sol ...

Mg doping for p-type AlInN lattice-matched to GaN

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Raphaël Butté, Antonino Francesco Castiglia

P-type AlInN layers lattice-matched to GaN are achieved by Mg doping. The net acceptor concentration N-A-N-D is 5 x 10(18) cm(-3) at a Mg concentration [Mg] of similar to 2 x 10(19) cm(-3). Mg acceptors are partly compensated and one of the compensating de ...
