Silicon as an intermediary between renewable energy and hydrogen
No full textNon-renewable energy sources are becoming depleted. Air and water (our environment) are precious and will be under increased jeopardy without effective energy and environmental policies. A hydrogen technology based upon solar energy represents a viable solution to these problems. Silicon successfully functions as a tailor-made intermediate linking decentrally operating renewable energy-generation technology with equally decentrally organised hydrogen-based infrastructure at any location of choice. The transport and storage of silicon are free from potential hazards and/or high energy losses and require a simple infrastructure similar to that needed for coal. --

Precipitation of supersaturated solute in H ion irradiated Fe-Au and Fe-Au-W alloys studied by positron annihilation spectroscopy
No full textThe effect of thermal aging of homogenized Fe-Au and Fe-Au-W alloys, irradiated at room temperature with hydrogen ions, was studied for an aging treatment at 300 °C for aging times up to 100 h. The aging behavior of the Fe-based alloys is compared to the results for pure Fe. The precipitation behavior of Au-rich and W-rich precipitates and its correlation to the H+ irradiation-induced defects is investigated by variable energy positron annihilation spectroscopy (VEPAS). The formation of open-volume defects after irradiation is monitored by an increase in the S parameter, while the recovery of the vacancy-like defects and the formation of precipitates are signalled by an increase in the W parameter. Au-rich precipitation continuously develops during long-term aging, as indicated by the increase in the W parameter. The change of the W parameter in the Fe-Au-W alloy is not only due to the effect of solute W on the Au precipitates, but also because of the interface of W-rich Laves phase with matrix.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Novel Aerospace MaterialsRST/Fundamental Aspects of Materials and Energ
Silicon as an intermediary between renewable energy and hydrogen
No full textWeltweit nehmen Kohle-, Öl- und Erdgasvorräte ab, der Energiebedarf dagegen steigt dramatisch an. Regenerative Energien mindern zwar die steigenden Klimagefahren, können aber unseren zukünftigen Energiebedarf in Ballungszentren kaum decken. Nach Einschätzung zahlreicher Experten gehört dem Wasserstoff die Zukunft. Er wird aber derzeit nahezu ausschließlich aus fossilen Brennstoffen gewonnen; damit bleibt auch diese Ressource endlich - ganz zu schweigen von ihrem hohen Gefährdungspotenzial. - Das neuartige Energiekonzept einer solaren und damit kohlenstoffunabhängigen Wasserstoffwirtschaft bedarf zur technischen Realisierung eines Zwischenspeichers für regenerative Energien. Dieser zukünftige Energieträger sollte synthetisch einfach erzeugbar sein, in unbegrenztem Maß zur Verfügung stehen oder zumindest recycelbar sein, die Energie permanent speichern und gefahrlos transportierbar sein, eine hohe Energiedichte aufweisen und kein Kohlendioxid oder andere (Klima-) Schadstoffe freisetzen. - Das Element Silicium kann zu einem maßgeschneiderten Bindeglied zur Ankoppelung dezentraler regenerativer Energieerzeugung an eine ebenso dezentrale Wasserstoffwirtschaft an jedem beliebigen Ort werden. Der Transport und die Speicherung von Silicium sind - im Gegensatz zu Öl oder besonders zu Wasserstoff - ohne Gefährdungspotenzial und/oder hohe Energieverluste möglich und erfordern nur eine technische Infrastruktur, wie sie auch für Kohle benötigt wird.Global reserves of coal, oil and natural gas are diminishing; global energy requirements however are dramatically increasing. Renewable energy sources lower the threat to the earth’s climate but are not able to meet the energy consumption in major urban areas. The opinion of many experts is that the future will be dominated by hydrogen. However, this gas is essentially totally manufactured from fossil fuels and is hence of limited abundance – not to mention the hazards involved in its utilisation. - A novel energy concept involving solar and thus carbon-independent hydrogen-based technology necessitates an intermediate storage vehicle for renewable energy. This future energy carrier should be simple to manufacture, be available to an unlimited degree or at least be suitable for recycling, be able to store and transport the energy without hazards, demonstrate a high energy density and release no carbon dioxide or other climatically detrimental substances. - Silicon successfully functions as a tailor-made intermediate linking decentrally operating renewable energy-generation technology with equally decentrally organised hydrogen-based infrastructure at any location of choice. In contrast to oil and in particular hydrogen, the transport and storage of silicon are free from potential hazards and require a simple infrastructure similar to that needed for coal
Lydia H. Hart Diary
No full textDiary, 1823-1830, 1875 and loose papers 1813, 1831, and undated of Lydia H. Hart of Richmond, Virginia and later Walden, Orange County, New York. The Diary was started by Lydia H. Hart, the wife of Reverend William H. Hart, who was the rector of St. John’s Church in Richmond, VA and later St. Andrews Church in Walden, New York. Diary entries include day-to-day activities and meetings with local neighbors and church patron’s. These neighbors included Elizabeth Van Lew and her parents, which Lydia Hart writes about several times. Most dated entries also include discussion of specific bible verses or Rev. Hart’s sermons. Notable entries include a description of the funeral service for Rev. John Buchanan, former rector of St. John’s Church from 1795 to 1822. Diary entries are chronological and more frequent for 1823 and become less frequent in 1823. In 1828, Lydia Hart moved to New York and eventually to Walden, New York in May 1830.At the end of the diary entries is an entry form another author, possibly by Mary. W. Hart dated 1875. Lydia Hart died in 1831 and could not have made the entry.At the back of the diary and upside down to the diary entries are transcriptions of letters and poems of Lydia Hart’s to various newspapers and and personnel correspondence. Entries include a plea for support to the city of Richmond to take care of its ‘destitute children’, letters to the editor of local newspapers, and poems for the birth of a child or death of a patron.Loose papers include a letter dated Jan 8th 1813, a bequeath request from William H. Hart for the placement of a Tombstone for Lydia Hart, a table of contents for various letters or sermons, a letter from William Hart to a friend from Richmond, and 2 loose undated papers of unknown authorship. The letter from William Hart speaks of the events of Lydia’s death, and inquiries about events taking place in Richmond
1, 2-H shift in benzylchlorocarbene: isotope effect and influence of the solvent
No full textLaser flash photolysis of 3-chloro-3-benzyldiazirine and 3-chloro-3-(phenyldideuteriomethyl)diazirine in isooctane over the 60 to -80-degrees-C temperature range gives rise to curved Arrhenius plots for both 1,2-H and 1,2-D migration in benzylchlorcarbene. The k(H)/k(D) values increase smoothly from 0.87 to 2.62 when the temperature increases from -60 to +30-degrees-C. The k(H)/k(D) value is approximately 4 for most of the temperatures studied if a solvent correction is applied. Quantum mechanical tunnelling or the influence of the solvent may be a possible explanation for these observations.PT: J; CR: BONNEAU R, 1989, J AM CHEM SOC, V111, P5973 BONNEAU R, 1992, J PHOTOCH PHOTOBIO A, V68, P97 DIX EJ, 1993, J AM CHEM SOC, V115, P10424 EVANSECK JD, 1990, J PHYS CHEM-US, V94, P5518 GRAHAM WH, 1965, J AM CHEM SOC, V87, P4396 JACKSON JE, 1994, ADV CARBENE CHEM JONES M, 1980, REACTIVE INTERMEDIAT, V2 KIRMSE W, 1971, CARBENE CHEM LIU MTH, 1984, TETRAHEDRON, V40, P887 LIU MTH, 1990, J AM CHEM SOC, V112, P3915 LIU MTH, 1992, J PHOTOCH PHOTOBIO A, V63, P115 LIU MTH, 1992, J PHYS ORG CHEM, V15, P285 LIU MTH, 1994, RES CHEM INTERMEDIAT, V20, P195 MODARELLI DA, 1992, J AM CHEM SOC, V114, P7034 MOSS RA, 1992, TETRAHEDRON LETT, V33, P4287 MOSS RA, 1994, ADV CARBENE CHEM MUROV SL, 1973, HDB PHOTOCHEMISTRY NICKON A, 1993, ACCOUNTS CHEM RES, V26, P84 SALIS GA, 1968, J PHYS CHEM-US, V72, P752 SANDER W, 1994, UNPUB SCHAEFER HF, 1979, ACCOUNTS CHEM RES, V12, P288 SCHOLLER WW, 1989, HOUBEN WEYL METHODEN, P41 SHIMANOUCHI T, 1972, TABLES MOL VIBRATION, V1 SUGIYAMA MH, 1992, J AM CHEM SOC, V114, P966 WIERLACHER S, 1993, J AM CHEM SOC, V115, P8943; NR: 25; TC: 20; J9: J PHOTOCHEM PHOTOBIOL A-CHEM; PG: 5; GA: PV021Source type: Electronic(1

Wieloletnie zmiany uslonecznienia w Polsce
No full textIn the study the author made use of many years recorded series of sunshine duration data from 8 meteorological stations in Poland. The effect of the geographical position of Poland is such that out of approximately 8760 h of the year only 51 % (about 4500 h) fall in the daytime period, when the sun can be seen above the horizon and fonn the climatic conditions of our country. Sunshine duration, i. e. the duration of time when the sun radiation can reach the Earth surface directly, is between 921 h (Śnieżka, 1912) and 2227 h (Wrocław, 1921). Preliminary analysis indicates that changes in the annual totals have a declining tendency over many years, and at the same time the sunshine duration trend is strongly dependent on the level of atmospheric pollution.Dokonano wstępnej oceny zmienności czasowej i przestrzennej usłonecznienia w Polsce na podstawie wieloletnich ciągów pomiarowych usłonecznienia z 8 stacji meteorologicznych. Średnie sumy usłonecznienia wahają się od 1410 h (Śnieżka) do 1696 h (Kołobrzeg), a wartości ekstremalne od 921 h (Śnieżka) do 2227 h (Wrocław). Przeprowadzona analiza wykazuje, że w okresie wielu ostatnich lat utrzymuje się w Polsce malejący trend usłonecznienia
