Abstract: This paper investigates the use of wood to fuel a trimburner incorporated in a combined-cycle, wood-fired power plant. The trimburner is designed to boost the temperature of the air stream ...

Abstract: A thermodynamic analysis of various methods of heating while using either purely geothermal energy or a combination of geothermal energy and conventional energy has been completed. Since geothermal ...

Abstract: A thermodynamic analysis of forced geoheat recovery from aquifers has been accomplished. The system investigated consists of a single recharging-discharging well pair, in a horizontally extensive ...

Abstract: This paper illustrates the optimization procedure for heat exchangers residing in complex power plants. A specific case of optimizing a new technology ceramic heat exchanger, which is a part ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of a class of latent heat storage systems (LHSS). The analysis is based on a lumped model (the basic model) that allows a broad class of LHSSs to be completely ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of a class of latent thermal energy storage (LTES) system. The analysis is based on a simplified model that allows the system performance to be evaluated in ...
