Abstract: Ratecontrolled constrainedequilibrium method has been further developed to model methane/air combustion. A set of constraints has been identified to predict the nonequilibrium evolution of the combustion process. The set ...

Abstract: The desire to increase power production through renewable sources introduces a number of problems due to their inherent intermittency. One solution is to incorporate energy storage systems as a means of managing the ...

Abstract: The principle of detailed balance is shown to be a sufficient condition for the second law of thermodynamics in thermally equilibrated elementary chemical reactions. For an elementary reaction, the principle of detailed ...

Abstract: Efficient, large-scale, and cost-effective energy storage systems provide a means of managing the inherent intermittency of renewable energy sources and drastically increasing their utilization. Compressed air energy storage ...
