Abstract: Solar thermal cracking of methane produces two valuable products, hydrogen gas and solid carbon, both of which can be used as a fuel and as a commodity. During the course of this twophase phenomenon, carbon particles tend ...

Abstract: A hydrogenproducing solar reactor was experimentally tested to study the cyclone flow dynamics of the gas–particle twophase phenomenon. Twodimensional particle image velocimetry (PIV) was used to observe the flow and to ...

Abstract: In this article, reduced-order models of a drill-string system are developed, the predictions of these models are studied, and qualitative comparisons are made with experimental studies. The ...
