SILENT, 3.75 KW, LIQUID HYDROCARBON-AIR FUEL CELL POWERPLANT. VOLUME I - TEXT.
Abstract
A powerplant system was established and used to determine overall powerplant weight, volume and thermal efficiency. For a 3.75 KW net output powerplant these are 366 lbs., 14.1 cu. ft. and 36% (LHV) respectively. Other studies were conducted to establish optimum system characteristics and operating parameters. System transient characteristics were established as were operating capability and limits. Tests of three of the components were run and results were evaluated to verify analytical predictions. The system sound output was analytically predicted. Finally, a preliminary design layout of the powerplant was made.
