1Fuel Cell — An electrochemical device that converts chemical energy directly into electricity. An advanced energy conversion device that converts fuels to power very efficiently and with minimal environmental impact. *** A device capable of… …
2Fuel cell — For other uses, see Fuel cell (disambiguation). Demonstration model of a direct methanol fuel cell. The actual fuel cell stack is the layered cube shape in the center of the image A fuel cell is a device that converts the chemical energy from a… …
3fuel cell — a device that produces a continuous electric current directly from the oxidation of a fuel, as that of hydrogen by oxygen. [1920 25] * * * Device that converts chemical energy of a fuel directly into electricity (see electrochemistry). Fuel cells …
4anode grade coke — A grade of pet coke from a delayed coker low in metals such as vanadium, nickel and iron that is suitable for making graphite anodes for the aluminum smelting industry. If the metals content does not qualify as anode grade coke, then the coke is… …
5fuel grade coke — Pet coke that competes with steam coal as fuel for a furnace, boiler or cement kiln. If the coke contains low metals, it may qualify as anode grade coke. The choice of whether a coker makes fuel grade vs anode grade is dictated solely by the… …
6fuel cell — /ˈfjuəl sɛl/ (say fyoohuhl sel) noun 1. a continuously fed battery in which a chemical reaction is used directly to produce electricity, the fuel being on the anode side and the oxidant on the cathode side. 2. one of a number of fuel tanks …
7Microbial fuel cell — A microbial electrolysis cell A microbial fuel cell (MFC) or biological fuel cell is a bio electrochemical system that drives a current by mimicking bacterial interactions found in nature. Mediator less MFCs are a more recent development; due to… …
8Solid oxide fuel cell — A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is an electrochemical conversion device that produces electricity directly from oxidizing a fuel. Fuel cells are characterized by their electrolyte material and, as the name implies, the SOFC has a solid oxide, or… …
9Direct methanol fuel cell — Direct methanol fuel cells or DMFCs are a subcategory of proton exchange fuel cells in which methanol is used as the fuel. Their main advantage is the ease of transport of methanol, an energy dense yet reasonably stable liquid at all… …
10Glossary of fuel cell terms — The Glossary of fuel cell terms lists the definitions of many terms used within the fuel cell industry. The terms in this glossary may be used by fuel cell industry associations, in education material and fuel cell codes and standards to name but …
