RISOxygen Enrichment in Combustion Processes: Comparative Experimental Results From Several Application Fields
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effects of using oxygen to partially or wholly replace fuel air in small-size melting furnaces were studied over a range of application fields. Following definition of the useful parameters, ...
Thermodynamics of Energy Storage by Melting Due to Conduction or Natural Convection
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes the most basic thermodynamic aspects of the process of energy storage by melting of a phase change material when the energy source is a stream of hot single-phase fluid. ...
Thermodynamics of Phase-Change Energy Storage: The Effects of Liquid Superheating During Melting, and Irreversibility During Solidification
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper considers the question of whether the optimum phase-change temperature for maximum exergy storage is universally equal to the geometric mean of the heat source and environment ...
Breakdown of the Exergy Balance in a Glass Furnace
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An exergy balance for an industrial glass furnace was constructed on the basis of measured thermodynamic variables. The experimental data were collected for different operating modes, especially ...
