Hydrogen Fuel Cells and Renewable Energy Integration

We analyzed how much hydrogen fuel-cells can offset peak hour energy production in power plants. Using Princeton Municipal Lighting Departments\u27s wind farm as a case-study, we determined that hydrogen fuel-cells are economically viable if the energy is sold at peak rates. Greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced, but not cost-effectively.https://digitalcommons.wpi.edu/gps-posters/1068/thumbnail.jp

Improvements to the WPI Powerplant

This project analyzed the current conditions of the underground coal bin used for storage on the Worcester Polytechnic Institute’s (WPI) Campus, and determined effective options for rehabilitation and replacement. Each option is designed to withhold loading due to trucks and pedestrians, and withstand exposure to water runoff, snow buildup and other environmental factors. Cost and value analyses were performed for each option including a net present value and axiomatic design matrix for the consideration of WPI’s decision-making process

Abrasivity of Yttria Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystal (Y-TZP) to dental enamel in comparison to noble white high palladium alloy

Objectives: To test the wear of enamel against Yttria Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystals (Y-TZP) in comparison to the wear of enamel against a noble white high Palladium alloy. Methods: A total of 20 specimens were used, 10 of Y-TZP and 10 of High Palladium alloy, both were subjected to 202,800 contacts against an enamel rod 2x2 mm in cross section under a mean load of 475.04g leading to a mean force of 4.66 N in a Wilson Wear Machine. The specimens were kept in Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline at a pH of 7 and the enamel rods were measured before and after the experiment for loss of enamel height (mm). Results The mean wear caused by the Y-TZP and the High Palladium alloy tested was 0.0912 mm, and 0.0113 mm respectively. This difference was statistically significant (p = 0.012 (p<0.05)). Significance It is recommended that Y-TZP is not to be used to form the occlusal surfaces of indirect restorations due to its high abrasive potential with respect to dental enamel
