Abstract: This article presents the essential features of an integrated resource planning (IRP) process designed to provide energy for societal and industrial needs at least cost. Use of renewable energy ...

Abstract: This article presents an analysis of the flow in the gap between two parallel coaxial disks rotating at different velocities, with a source in the center. The Navier-Stokes equations are solved ...

Abstract: The second law of thermodynamics is used to analyze the potential for exergy conservation in solar collector systems. It is shown that the amount of useful energy (exergy) delivered by solar ...

Abstract: This paper describes the design, construction, and testing of a concentrating solar collector based on the Stationary Reflector/Tracking Absorber (SRTA) principle. The system consists of a fixed, ...

Abstract: The flow of air in the space between a rotating disk and a stationary side wall placed parallel to its surface has been investigated over a range of Reynolds numbers from 3 × 105 to ...

Abstract: A desiccant dehumidifier regenerated by direct absorption of solar radiation was investigated using a simplified numerical model (DESSIM) of the adsorpotion and desorption processes. This paper ...

Abstract: A small segment of the engineering community was surveyed to obtain their judgment regarding the long-range needs for basic research in fluid mechanics. This segment consisted of approximately ...
