Abstract: A concentrated solar energy system includes a photovoltaic cell (12), an optical concentrator (20), a heat removal system (14), and means (16) for providing thermal contact between the photovoltaic cell (12) and the heat removal system (14). The optical concentrator (20) is configured to direct concentrated solar energy to the photovoltaic cell (12) such that the photovoltaic cell (12) generates electricity and heat. The heat removal system (14) removes heat from the photovoltaic cell (12). The means (16) for providing thermal contact provides an effective thermal conductivity per unit length between the photovoltaic cell (12) and the heat removal system (14) of greater than about 50 kilowatts per square meter per degree Celsius.

Abstract: A solar-powered hydrogen production system directly produces hydrogen. The solar-powered hydrogen production system includes at least one concentrator, a hydrogen-rich source, a catalytic layer, and a hydrogen separation membrane. The hydrogen-rich source is positioned to receive focused sunlight collected by the concentrator and is in direct contact with the catalytic layer. The catalytic layer produces hydrogen from the hydrogen-rich source. The hydrogen separation membrane subsequently separates the hydrogen produced at the catalytic layer.

Abstract: A fuel delivery system for an energy conversion device includes a fuel deoxygenator and an oxygen scavenger module for removing dissolved oxygen an d increasing the usable cooling capability of a fuel. Fuel emerging from the fuel-deoxygenating device flows into the oxygen-scavenging module where a second portion, smaller than the first portion of oxygen is removed from the fuel. The combination of the oxygen scavenger and the fuel deoxygenator provides an increase in removal of dissolved oxygen relative to the use of either device alone. The combination provides the desired increase in deoxygenation of fuel without the corresponding increase in device size.

Abstract: A fuel delivery system for a gas turbine engine includes a catalytic device for treating fuel to increase the usable cooling capability of an endothermic fuel. The catalytic device operates to treat and decompose components within in the fu el to render the fuel non-coking beyond 250.degree. F. The catalytic device includes material that initiates reactions, and decomposition of coke forming components within the fuel to n on- coke forming components within the fuel.
