Again,
as in the case of the methanol experiment different concentrations of the
electrolyte’s solution were used.
The
basic equipment used for this application has been the same as in the case of
the methanol equipment. The only difference was in the fuel, which was ethanol.
Such
equipment is show right below:
The results obtained from the
ethanol fuel cell turned out to fit the theory by being similar to those
attained from the methanol fuel cell.
Four – mole concentration:
Maximum
power (mW) »
18 At 0.35V
Two
– mole concentration:
Maximum power (mW) » 14 At 0.3V
Maximum Power(mW) »
13 At
0.3V
Half – a – mole concentration:
Maximum Power (mW) »
8
At 0.3V
Comparing different concentration
solutions:
Again, as before the solution of
the higher concentration gave best results.
