Abstract: A series of integral heat transfer measurements in a square annular flow passage was performed for bulk water temperatures of 175–400°C with upward mass velocities of 300 kg/m2 s and 1000 ...

Abstract: Laser-assisted machining (LAM) has shown its potential to significantly reduce fabrication costs and improve product quality for advanced materials. While extensive studies have been conducted on ...

Abstract: Competitive cycles must have a minimal initial cost and be inherently efficient. Currently, the supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO2 ) Brayton cycle is under consideration for these very reasons. ...

Abstract: The increasing importance of improving efficiency and reducing capital costs has led to significant work studying advanced Brayton cycles for high temperature energy conversion. Using compact, ...
