Composite low temperate hydrogen storage material on the basis of iron-titanium alloy ; synthesis and structure
Onyegbule, Nkele (University of the Western Cape, 2006)It is widely believed that hydrogen will within a few tens of years become the means of storing and transporting energy. The reason is the depletion of hydrocarbons and the relatively facile production of hydrogen from ... -
Hydrogen selective properties of cesium-hydrogensulphate membranes
Meyer, Faiek (University of the Western Cape, 2006)Over the past 40 years, research pertaining to membrane technology has lead to the development of a wide range of applications including beverage production, water purification and the separation of dairy products. For the ... -
Palladium surface-modified rare earth metal-based ab5 type hydride-forming materials
Williams, Mario (University of the Western Cape, 2008)Driven by mounting standards of living and a growing population, South African energy consumption is expected to increase dramatically within the next decade. The increased demand for more energy will require enormous ... -
Preparation and physico-chemical properties of nickel nanostructured materials deposited in etched ion-track membrane
Nkosi, Mlungisi Moses (University of the Western Cape, 2005)The development of finely dispersed powders and superfine-grained materials intended for application in various areas of science and engineering is one of the challenges facing modern nanotechnology. Thus, specific fundamental ... -
Synthesis and characterization of nanofluids for cooling applications
Botha, Subelia Senara (University of the Western Cape, 2006)Low thermal conductivity is a primary limitation in the development of energy-efficient heat transfer fluids that are required in numerous industrial sectors. Recently submicron and high aspect ratio particles (nanoparticles ...
