Relationships between 3D topology and reaction kinetics in mixed conducting electrodes for solid oxide fuel cells
In this project we investigate on a fundamental level the microstructure influence on the electrochemical kinetics of solid oxide fuel cell electrodes (SOFC). So far the possibilities which arise from a combination of multi-physical modeling with quantitative microstructure analysis have only been exploited to a ...

RECREATE
This proposal is all about the introduction and airworthiness of cruiser-feeder operations for civil aircraft. Cruiser-feeder operations are investigated as a promising pioneering idea for the air transport of the future. The soundness of the concept of cruiser-feeder operations for civil aircraft is explained in ...

Development of the ELPAC Level 6 Test for Air Traffic Controllers
In 2008 the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) implemented language proficiency requirements for air traffic controllers and pilots. To this end, ICAO introduced a rating scale with six levels of language proficiency. Level 4 is the so-called operational level that test takers need to demonstrate to ...

Enhancing the Lifetime of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell stacks in Switzerland
The lifetime of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Stacks was investigated by means of experimental investigations (e.g. Impedance spectroscopy, physical/electrochemical characterization), microstructure analysis (SEM, FIB-tomography, EDX) and numerical simulation (Finite Element Modelling). A particular focus of the ...
