RISBubble Nucleation and Growth in Open-Cycle OTEC Subsystems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Bubble nucleation and growth in the evaporator, condenser, upcomers, and feedwater distribution systems of open-cycle ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) power plants are examined. The phenomenon ...
Direct Contact Condensation in the Presence of Noncondensables in OC-OTEC Condensers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Analyses are presented for the performance of direct contact jet and spray condensers in the presence of noncondensables. A solution procedure is developed which obtains analytically the liquid-side ...
Gas Desorption From Seawater in Open-Cycle Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Barometric Upcomers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Gas desorption from warm and cold seawater under open-cycle ocean thermal energy conversion (OC-OTEC) conditions is addressed in this paper. The desorption process of dissolved O2 , N2 , and ...
Mathematical Simulation of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Seawater Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A mathematical model and computer code have been developed to predict the performance of the Seawater System (SWS) of an Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) power plant. A time-dependent, ...
