Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. Cavite State University-Cavite College of Arts and Trade Campus, Rosario, Cavite. June 2019. Adviser: Engr. Gee Jay C. Bartolome. Technical Critic: Engr. Dexter S. Ramos.
The study was conducted from December 2018 to May 2019 to investigate the performance of SMFCs, which used different types of electrodes, amounts of sediments, and external resistance loadings, in terms of open and close-circuit voltage, current density, power density, and bioenergy generation potential. A multi-factor experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design (CRD). Stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium mesh were used as electrodes. On a fed-batch mode, the chambers were loaded with different amounts of sediment 25, 50, and 75 percent per volume of the chamber. Constant external loads of 100 Ω, 200 Ω, 300 Ω were applied in the experiment. Each treatment was observed for 24 hours in duplicates. In each batch, the chambers were replenished with fresh substrate from a nearby estuarine. Significant findings showed that the performance of the SMFCs varied statistically due to differences the abovementioned variables. Titanium electrode worked best in terms of open and close circuit voltage, current, power density, and bioenergy generation potential at various external resistance loadings and composition of the substrates.
