Batteries and Fuel Cells

30.5K
A battery is a galvanic cell that is used as a source of electrical power for specific applications. Modern batteries exist in a multitude of forms to accommodate various applications, from tiny button batteries such as those that power wristwatches to the very large batteries used to supply backup energy to municipal power grids. Some batteries are designed for single-use applications and cannot be recharged (primary cells), while others are based on conveniently reversible cell reactions that...

Comparison between RL and RC circuits01:24

Comparison between RL and RC circuits

5.7K
An RC circuit consists of resistance and capacitance, while in an RL circuit, capacitance is replaced by an inductor. RL and RC circuits are first-order differential circuits that store energy. An RC circuit stores energy in the electric field, while an RL circuit stores energy in the magnetic field. When connected to a battery, an RC circuit charges the capacitor, causing the current to decrease from maximum to zero upon being fully charged. This increases the voltage across the capacitor from...

Electrical Energy01:10

Electrical Energy

1.6K
Using electric appliances for a longer period of time consumes more electrical energy and results in a higher electric bill. The energy produced by the transfer of electrons from one point to another is known as electrical energy. If power is delivered at a constant rate, the electrical energy can be defined as the product of power used by the device for a period of time. The energy unit on electric bills is the kilowatt-hour, where one kilowatt-hour is equivalent to 3.6 × 106 joules.

Kirchoff's Rules: Application

1.9K
Kirchhoff's rules quantify the current flowing through a circuit and the voltage variations around the loop in a circuit. Applying Kirchhoff's rules generates a set of linear equations that allow us to find the unknown values in circuits. These may be currents, voltages, or resistances.
When applying Kirchhoff's first rule, the junction rule, label the current in each branch and decide its direction. If the chosen direction is wrong, it will have the correct magnitude, although the...

Multiple Voltage Sources01:25

Multiple Voltage Sources

1.6K
Generally, a single battery is not enough to power some devices. In such cases, batteries can be combined in two ways: in series or in parallel.
In series, the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of another battery. Hence, the voltage of each battery is added to give the net voltage, which is increased because each battery boosts the electrons that enter it. The same current flows through each battery because they are connected in series.
Batteries are...

Electrogravimetric Analysis: Overview01:30

Electrogravimetric Analysis: Overview

673
Electrogravimetric analysis measures the weight of an analyte deposited electrolytically onto a suitable working electrode. This method involves applying a potential to a pre-weighed electrode submerged in a solution, which results in the desired substance being deposited through reduction at the cathode or oxidation at the anode. The electrode's weight is recorded after deposition, and the difference in weight gives the analyte's weight in the solution.
To test the completeness of the...

Area of Science:

  • Pain Management
  • Medical Economics
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) effectively treats chronic intractable pain, particularly for failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS).
  • Evaluating the economic implications of different SCS systems is crucial for healthcare resource allocation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a cost-consequences analysis comparing rechargeable (R-SCS) and non-rechargeable (NR-SCS) systems.
  • To determine the financial impact and identify patient groups who might benefit more from R-SCS.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized real-world data from 86 patients to simulate costs.
  • Performed monetary impact calculations for R-SCS versus NR-SCS.

Main Results:

  • NR-SCS devices lasted an average of 58 months.
  • R-SCS demonstrated average savings of €56,322 per patient over their lifetime (43% reduction).
  • Total projected savings for the public health system using R-SCS were over €5.7 million (63% saving).

Conclusions:

  • R-SCS implants are more cost-beneficial than NR-SCS systems for selected patients.
  • R-SCS becomes cost-beneficial from the second year of use, offering substantial long-term savings.
