In the applications part of the school presentations will be given by leading international companies who will share their experiences in the field.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.hfc2009.com/itoolkit.asp?pg=HYFC_ACADEMY_SCHOOL">Click here for more information</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5720542977359647703-3524032044274514360?l=merida.mech.ubc.ca%2Fblog'/></div>Walter Meridahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07632749326091857768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720542977359647703.post-29319711494259263112008-10-14T20:33:00.000-07:002009-04-03T17:30:37.961-07:00<a href="http://merida.mech.ubc.ca/blog/uploaded_images/omar-700060-727637.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 146px;" src="http://merida.mech.ubc.ca/blog/uploaded_images/omar-700060-727634.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Omar Herrera presented a paper at the last meeting of the Electrochemical Society. The paper described the separation of anodic and cathodic potentials in a working fuel cell via reference electrodes at constant conditions. Additional sensing electrodes were placed at the fuel and oxidant inlet and outlet to provide localized information on the membrane electrode assembly (MEA). These results can be used to detect flooding, dehydration, and low stoichiometry events.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5720542977359647703-2931971149425926311?l=merida.mech.ubc.ca%2Fblog'/></div>Walter Meridahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07632749326091857768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720542977359647703.post-14763357823990193682008-10-08T17:10:00.000-07:002009-04-03T17:19:31.054-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://merida.mech.ubc.ca/blog/uploaded_images/Me-at-poster-presentation-769737.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 165px;" src="http://merida.mech.ubc.ca/blog/uploaded_images/Me-at-poster-presentation-769732.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>David Kadylak presented his work on planar PEMFC humidifiers at the the Fuel Cells Science and Technology Conference in Copenhagen.

The aim was to bring Canadian and European researchers, academics, and companies together to share information on the latest in fuel cell system development.<br /><br />The mission was book-ended by the Fuel Cell Summer School and the Grove Technical Symposium (both in Copenhagen), and it included visits to an onshore wind farm (DONG Energy), and RISO University (now part of the Danish Technical University.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5720542977359647703-3160231145876689260?l=merida.mech.ubc.ca%2Fblog'/></div>Walter Meridahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07632749326091857768noreply@blogger.com0
