    摘要: Embodiments of a self-sustainable solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system for powering a gas well comprise a first SOFC comprising a first cathode, a first anode, and a first solid electrolyte; a second SOFC comprising a second cathode, a second anode, and a second solid electrolyte; SO2 removal equipment; a combustion circuit comprising a combustor and a circulating heat carrier in thermal connection with the combustor, the first SOFC, and the second SOFC; and one or more external electric circuits. The first anode comprises a first oxidation region configured to produce SO2 and electrons. The second anode comprises a second oxidation region configured to electrochemically oxidize CH4 to produce syngas and electrons and electrochemically oxidize H2 to produce H2O and electrons. The external electric circuits are configured to generate power from the electrons produced in both the first SOFC and the second SOFC.

    摘要: A solar system is provided comprising a light receiving surface, a condensation subassembly, a water collection subassembly, and a cleaning subassembly. The expansion chamber of the condensation subassembly is thermally coupled to the light receiving surface and thermally insulated from the ambient such that expansion of compressed air in the expansion chamber, as controlled by the compressed air expansion valve, encourages humidity condensation on the light receiving surface by reducing the temperature of the light receiving surface. The water collection subassembly comprises a water collection vessel and water direction hardware positioned to direct condensed water on the light receiving surface to the water collection vessel. The cleaning subassembly comprises a water dispensing unit positioned to dispense water from the water collection vessel over the light receiving surface of the solar system.

    摘要: Methods for recovering organic heteroatom compounds from a hydrocarbon feedstock include feeding into a contactor a hydrocarbon feedstock and an aqueous solvent to form an extraction mixture of the aqueous solvent with the hydrocarbon feedstock. The hydrocarbon feedstock includes a hydrocarbon and an organic heteroatom compound. The aqueous solvent includes an ionic liquid formed from pressurized carbon dioxide and water. A pressure and temperature of the extraction mixture may be established that together tune the aqueous solvent to selectively form a solvent complex with the at least one organic heteroatom compound. Then, the solvent complex is extracted to a recovery vessel from the extraction mixture in the contactor. By adjustment of a recovery temperature of the recovery vessel, a recovery pressure of the recovery vessel, or both, the solvent complex decomposes into carbon dioxide and the organic heteroatom compound. The organic heteroatom compound is then recovered from the recovery vessel.

    摘要: Embodiments of this disclosure are directed to a parking indicator comprising a vehicle contact body, a pivoting contact body support, an elongated visibility indicator, an indicator actuating mechanism, and an indicator retracting mechanism. The pivoting contact body support is attached to the vehicle contact body and is configured to permit the vehicle contact body to pivot to a horizontally-oriented position when the vehicle contact body is grounded via the pivoting contact body support and is contacted by a vehicle entering a parking space occupied by the parking indicator. The elongated visibility indicator is mechanically coupled to the vehicle contact body via the indicator actuating mechanism such that the indicator actuating mechanism upholds the elongated visibility indicator in an extended position. The indicator retracting mechanism is configured to retract the elongated visibility indicator to a retracted position when the vehicle contact body pivots from the vertically-oriented position to the horizontally-oriented position.
